My ‘vaginal’ discharge/bleeding began June 2024. My gyne told me it was from old age (70) and dryness and friable tissue. Gave me estrogen cream. I had a total hysterectomy in ‘95. The bleeding continued and in January 2025 had biopsies as now she saw a ‘lump’ down there. Came back stage 1A squamous cell cancer due to HPV which was the cause of my hysterectomy. Will be getting radiation/chemo.
Any woman who is over 70 and has had a hysterectomy with a complaint of bleeding needs to be assessed immediately and taken seriously.

@leahchawkins Thank you for this. I have had a hysterectomy due to endometrial cancer. If I develop vaginal bleeding I will insist that it be investigated with a complete physical exam.
