Bleeding After Hysterectomy

Question
A woman is asking about the blood she sees after a hysterectomy? You have answered that it could be menstruation, which is medically impossible since after a hysterectomy, a woman does not have a menstrual cycle. What is your opinion? Please note this matter.
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Your statement is correct, and what comes out of blood is considered bleeding, and it is blood of istihada, not menstrual blood. Perhaps there was some error in printing the question and the answer, and God knows best.
