Period during surgery

[Dee2938 71]

Hi all. I’m due to have my period right smack in the middle of my scheduled surgery. I know, tmi, however I ree-he-heely don’t want them to reschedule me. Is this something that would stop the procedure from going on as planned or is it a non issue? Anyone else have Aunt Flo during surgery?

I definitely want to know this too because I may have mine at the same time too!

It's a non-issue. It will have no impact on surgery whatsoever. It doesn't affect blood counts or anything and is nowhere near or related to your surgery, so all good

Just make sure you don't forget to take sanitary items with you. Mine arrived unexpectedly 2 days post-surgery (my 1st one) and I had nothing with me so had to use the ginormous hospital maternity pads They are like a mattress!!

Oh yeah. I remember those from when I had my kids. I mean just call it what it is. A diaper. Lol

I thought I read that you get a catheter. Can they do even with period?

So funny you should mention this. I take bc pill. Two days after my surgery my period started 2 weeks early. Something about the surgery throwing my system into shock and hormones out of whack.

The sudden weight loss releases oestrogen from the fat cells causing wacky periods.
