I assume you want to use the EMS as a strength training tool for athletic purposes to prevent or retard atrophy of muscles during your lipo recovery.

Thank you for your question. The breast surgery wouldn't be directly related to your uterine bleeding. However, I strongly recommend seeing your gynecologist, as well as your breast surgeon for further examination.
Most patients have less energy than usual for at least 3 months after surgery due to the energy it takes your body to heal and the lingering effects of anesthesia and pain medication. A sudden change a few years after surgery is not related. I would see you primary doctor and have him evaluate...
