I had a full hysterectomy 20 years ago. Today at 61-years-old, I'm bleeding. What could cause this?

This is a question for your doctor.
You will find a wealth of possibilities on line if you type this in, and if you wish to be scared to death for likely little reason.
See your doctor.
Best of luck to you. We have had this question many many times over the years if that's any comfort at all. You can look up the answers top of the timeline in the little magnifying glass search section.

Look up vaginal anthopothy. I found that on Google search. I didn't read much about it but doesn't sounds serious.

But you definitely have to go to the doctor, just don't let your thoughts go directly to cancer

You don't want to go from A to Z when it could be something small.

Are you referring to vaginal atrophy??? Although vaginal atrophy is, for many women, a normal part of growing older, it can also be a big inconvenience, because it can interfere with your quality of life.

Arthropathy is a joint disease, of which arthritis is a type. Arthropathies can be associated with a hematologic (blood) disorder or an infection, such as Lyme disease, and have nothing to do with vaginal bleeding.

There is no such word as "anthopothy"

This is a frequent question. I have attached a link from here on aging care so you can see a wide range of replies.

Please see your doctor to take appropriate action.

Laurarob, best to see a doctor as this could any anything. Hopefully it is as simple as a popped hemorrhoid.
