I had TAH 18 months ago for severe bleeding, no cancer detected, just a 1cm fibroid. Day 4 huge burst of dark red blood, ultrasound showed fluid collection. Given 20 courses of antibiotics over next 6 months. E-coli present in bladder for 10 weeks post hysterectomy, experienced urge incontinence since day 4. Consistently fobbed off at hospital by extremely rude consultant with "everything is fine, everything is healed although at each consultation I took plenty of pads showing what was coming out. Using approx 8 pads per day at that point. Pieces of flesh were coming away smelling of bad sausages or meat.
At 8 months, I felt something moving in vagina, went to GP in desperation, she examined me and stated huge hole at top of vagina, and large area of granulation tissue. She wrote again to consultant who then treated granulation area with silver nitrate, about 20 minutes later as walking from hospital I had major bleed.
I then asked to be refered elsewhere and was seen by gynae who confirmed hole present, and did surgery to close hole, against my better judgement as bleeding still profuse. They say hole was blind end 6cm X 2cm. Next day discharge appeared again and has been going ever since.
Have had urology tests and urine leak/urge incont confirmed but no pads have yet been supplied for 18 months I have had to use maternity pads and bath towels. Yesterday at hospital again, now they blame urine leak saying discharge is not blood although it sure looks like it. They also say swabs have come back clear and to see GP! I see him later today but am getting desperate. Can anyone shed any light on what can be wrong. I am sceptical I have been told the whole truth to put it mildly and would value anyone's advice.
