Tampons In Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Hi, all! So my surgery had been pushed back by a week twice. I finally go in tomorrow morning and of course my period started today. I just got off the phone with my nurse and when I asked her about it she said I could keep a tampon in "no problem".

Since this is he powder room, ladies, did anyone else keep their tampons in during surgery? I've heard of people having to go without anything or use the spiderweb panty. I'm actually glad about it but I just thought it was interesting. Just goes to show how varying the doctors and the details can be.

Eek...I wouldn't feel comfortable with a tampon in during surgery, but then again, I don't ever feel comfortable with one lol. Maybe you could wear a pad? I don't know. I may have my period too when my surgery is scheduled =/ Not fun.

See, that's what I'm thinking will happen. We'll see. At least I know I can wear a pad. I just couldn't imagine...

I was not allowed anything during surgery...but all places seem to be different. Best of luck I know once I woke up that was the first thing I asked about!! I was super uncomfortable without one in...

I wouldn't be comfortable with one in. What if something (God forbid) should happen during surgery and you are like, in a coma or something, or at least heavily sedated for a few days. Would anyone think to check for a tampon?

I had my period during surgery. I was given a pad & spiderweb panties. They still put the pee tube thing in my cuca. So imagine.

Since they will most likely put in a urine catheter at least through surgery I wouldn't think you would want anything else down there. Just talk to your pre op nurses and ask them to help you and then your nurses on the floor. they have dealt with everything so don't be afraid to let them know what your needs are.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
