11. Expect Some Light Bleeding

Light bleeding or bloody discharge is to be expected up to a few weeks after a hysterectomy. This is part of the healing process and no reason to worry. Most people will need to wear sanitary pads during recovery. If the bleeding becomes as heavy as a period or lasts longer than six weeks, talk to a doctor.
