The most common UTIs occur mainly in women and affect the bladder and urethra. 1  Infection of the bladder (cystitis). This type of UTI is usually caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. 2  Infection of the urethra (urethritis).
Vaginal vault prolapse: This type of prolapse may occur following a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). Because the ligaments surrounding the uterus provides support for the top of the vagina, this condition is common after a hysterectomy. In vaginal vault prolapse, the top of the vagina gradually falls toward the vaginal opening. This may cause the walls of the vagina to weaken as well.
Bleeding years after hysterectomy may be direct, indirectly or not at all related to the surgery. 1  Often we see this bleeding after intercourse. 2  Cervical polyps can also cause vaginal bleeding and spotting. 3  If the cervix is left intact during the hysterectomy you can still develop cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer. This can cause in some cases significant vaginal bleeding and most often after having intercourse. A rare cause of post hysterectomy hemorrhage is endometriosis of the vagina or of the vaginal cuff.
