I was curious to know if the surgeon will still perform surgery if your on your period? If so, which is okay to wear, a tampon or a pad? Hope this isn't too weird of a question lol

They will operate still. They will give u a pad to wear during the surgery.

I was on my period as well during surgery and I was not able to use my own pad or tampon. They gave me a pad.

Me too, the nurse said this happens a lot. LOL due to hormone changes during pre-op diet and stress.

Whew! Ok great! Lol i was kinda worried they would reschedule. ..

That's really good to know! I'm almost in menopause & can't predict when I'll have my next period.

Thanks for asking this question!

So funny you asked!! I did ask that at my appointment with my surgery on Friday. He said they will still operate. He said that the nurses have seen it and will deal with it.

I had my period during the procedure too, they will give you a pad....and no question is weird around here

congrats and good luck!

Thanks ladies, I had my surgery July 18th and i thought i was going to b on my period since it usually lasts a week, but that pre op diet i was on for two weeks changed it! Lol and only lasted 4 days! Im happy i didnt have to deal with the surgery AND my period at the same time..lol

I started my period the morning I had my gallbladder out. Quite interesting trying to get onto the table and hold a pad between your legs!!!! I'm going to start mine any second, so hopefully I won't be when I have this surgery!
