Slight bleed

[koffeekat99]

Hi all

I'm 2 years post op (total hysterectomy, oopherectomy, oementum removal) and generally feel well with mobility, able to exercise, do yoga, dig the garden, etc. However, I've found that if I do anything that uses the muscles in the abdomen a lot I get a little blood and slight ache a few hours later. The blood is just a bit when I go to the toilet and appears to be from the vagina. The ache feels like it's at the top of the vagina. The blood is barely worth wearing a panty pad for, but when it happens I do as a precaution more than anything.

The first time it happened was about 3-4 months post surgery and was not too startling given the timing. I mentioned it to my surgeon and she said it wasn't cancer related, rather just bits of tissue still healing.

However, it has happened a few times in the last two years, each time being when I've done something that uses my core muscles a lot, e.g. standing for a long time, doing core muscle exercises. I did a few core muscle exercises yesterday and this morning got a little blood when I went to the toilet. I've now got the little ache.

I don't think it's anything to worry about given my conversation with my surgeon the first time it happened. But I was rather hoping that if I did core muscle exercises then it would get gradually better. Instead I seem to get nowhere with the exercises as this keeps happening and then I decide I need to rest the core until it heals.

Has anyone else had anything similar?

Most people have small amounts of blood when they exercise it's normal and usually too small to notice ... so yes it maybe related to exercise I would get it checked out tho just in case as it is noticeable 😊

Hi katfish, I think a quick word with your GP or Gynae team couldn't hurt? Any bleed needs to be looked at, it is more than likely insignificant but it is obviously bothering you a little, as it would me, peace of mind is so important especially given what we've all been through already so maybe a quick call could be the way forward. I know we are all maybe a little over cautious but that's a good thing.

Take lots of care and let us know how you get on with this, big hugs ❤xx Jane

Suggest you check it out with your GP.

Hi there dont want to alarm you but it is no harm to have it checked out with your gp. It may happen to a lot of people as this is one of the questions asked usually at check up.
