sex after hysterectomy

[Clarabellapp]

Hi I’m after some advice on intercourse after a hysterectomy. I had laparoscopic hysterectomy over 10 weeks ago due to fibroids and adenomyosis, my recovery has gone well. All of my external scars are healed. However last night we had sex for the first time, with lubrication, and there was very sharp pain at the top of the vagina, and I bled afterwards. This morning the pain has gone and the bleeding seems to have stopped. Is this normal? Do I just need to grit my teeth and bare it, or is it a sign something is wrong? I know the recommendation is to wait 6 weeks. I thought 10 and a half weeks would be fine. Any advice or reassurance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I'm almost six weeks after a hysterectomy. Mine was also for adenomyosis and fibroids. So I'm interested to know what replies you get to this. If you're still worried tomorrow I'd phone your doctor anyway. Better to be on the safe side. If the bleeding and pain has stopped I'd say that's a positive sign. I hope you get some reassuring responses.

I was told I might get granulation tissue which I think can bleed if I remember correctly. (My hysterectomy was over 20 years ago!) I was told that fixing granulation tissue was fairly straightforward and routine. I really think you should see a doctor as soon as possible and get checked out. Good luck! XX
