Period during surgery?

[amberakamom 13]

What if you are on your period during surgery? Anything that we should know about that or is it business as usual?

It"s business as usual.

yeah IceQueen is right. Business as usual. I asked the nurse about that because I thought

I might be having mine, and she said no problem, they have pads underneath you! Yuck I thought,

please don't let me have it! She said I couldn't keep a tampon in, but I decided mentally that if it was

my time, that I would keep it in anyway! I got lucky, it didn't happen !

I should be starting my period any day now....and I am having my surgery on Tuesday. Thought about that too. However, I am sure we are not the first to have it during surgery. I think that it is my luck that it will be...O well im sure they have seen and dealt with worse. Good Luck!!!!

I was on my period when I had my hysterectomy. No problems at all.

No worries; I had surgery previously and was informed I wet my self during the procedure because they gave me 2 full bags of saline beforehand (and 3 during surgery I was told) and didn't give me a catheter. At the time the nurse told me I was too groggy to care but pretty embarassing now thinking back on it. I'm sure worse things have happened...
