Did Surgery Make Your Period Come Earlier And Stronger?

I got home and the next day I got hit like a steam train with my period. PIssed me off. lol It wasn't even due until two weeks later. I was actually hoping that the stress from the surgery would make me not have a cycle or two but NOPE.

I was post-menopausal but had been spotting off and on for a few months prior to the VSG. After the surgery my period came back.... and it has been going now for 3 months. I took my sainted mother's advice and told my PCP who was concerned enough to order a sonogram which showed an enlarged uterus which had him send me to a gynecologist who did a biopsy and found that I have endometrial uterine cancer. I go Tuesday to the gynecological oncologist to see what is to be done. Go figure.

Omg, I can't imagine... Best of luck with everything....

I was regular prior to surgery and now the days between have varied . . . 26 days one month and 31 days the second. Also, the flow is A LOT heavier than normal for my two cycles since surgery. I think it's to be expected with all the changes our bodies are going through. I take Tylenol for cramps. Good luck!

Mine went haywire after surgery, I was having one every 2.5-3 weeks with spotting in between. My OBGYN said it would be like this for months. Noooooooo! About a month ago my sister told me about taking cinnamon and cayenne to help regulate and moderate TOM. I was skeptical but willing to try anything, so started adding 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and cayenne pepper to my morning Protein shakes. To my shock, the spotting stopped immediately. Thursday I started TOM (right on schedule for the first time in 4 months), and it's much lighter and hardly any cramps. There is a lot of info online about the natural benefits of cinnamon and cayenne, I suggest doing some research to see if it might help you.

Mine is on every 3-4 days. I've had an IUD for 4 years and since surgery it has been crazy. My nut told me it can be from surgery but check it out with gyno to be sure...
