18 days op and period is going on 14 days!

Ugh!! I'm 18 days post op (surgery August 5th) I got my period on the 11th and still have it. Should I be worried?

This is pretty common, use search and you will find all kinds of posts.

Hormones are stored in fat. Your body is being flooded with extra hormones.

I'm 51 years old, and firmly in menopause. Yet, I had a period about a week after surgery.

same thing happened to me, I started the day after surgery and it lasted over 2 weeks. my gyno and my surgical team told me it would happen and that the surgery sometimes "resets" your hormones I have had PCOS for years and this seems to have resolved it.

but every period since my surgery has been lasting 7-10 days at least

This is probably related to the Heparin shots they gave you pre op. Heparin is an anticoagulant that prolongs bleeding. I'm one week post op, and still bleeding as well (it's been seven days, my periods are always 5) my surgeon told me not to worry, and that it will resolve.

I'm on the shot. Will the surgery mess up my cycle?
