It might be the condition that leads you to do a hysterectomy at 6 weeks that is responsible for the hyper vascularity. Nevertheless, the relative hypo-oestrogenism of lactation is most definitely not reflected in any suggestion of avascularity or even hypo-vascularity of the uterus. Involution is not complete until a minimum of 6 weeks and until it is the myometrium is soft and spongy - ideal for an IUCD to perforate.

But I can tell you anyhow that I wouldn't do a hysterectomy on a 6 weeks postpartum lactating woman with a completely involutioned healthy uterus. Regards, Bulent Potur At Wed, 25 Jul 2007, R.
