I should have had my hysterectomy last Tuesday but due to my blood sugar levels being too high it was postponed until next Tuesday 13th July. I only had the tinyest spot of blood at the diagnosis of a cancerous fibroid. I bled for over two weeks after the biopsy which was on the 19th may and nothing since. I have suddenly started to bleed like a period today. I don't know what to do. I think if I ring the hospital they will just say you're having surgery in a week so leave it. What do you think? Deb
Hi Deborino. From everything I've ever read here having fibroids causes bleeding. Years ago my friend had a hysterectomy due to fibroids, non cancerous but horrendous bleeds. I'd say check with your CNS. If you end up anaemic the op might get cancelled again.
Hugs, Barb xx
