late menstrual cycle post surgery?

[crystal916 4]

Ummm... just wondering if any ladies experienced their cycle changing after surgery? Im four days late n this never happens. Is this common after surgery?

The anesthesia and the "trauma" of the surgery totally wack out your hormones. Some people start early some people late. It is nothing to worry about. Part of the healing process! I hope you are feeling pretty good post OP!

Mine was way out of wack. Came 2 days after surgery, & that was 2 weeks early. I'd get it twice in one month, i missed it for a couple of months too. Went back to normal after 6 months. Now I'm 10 1/2 months post op & now it's 2 weeks late.

my doctor actually said it might not be regular after surgery (even though i'm not regular anyway), but they did say i couldn't use my birth control 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after my surgery. which i find weird, i guess hormones affect you a lot more than you think. hm!

Mine was weird as well. Before I had my surgery, it was irregular because I was overweight. I did not had my period for an amount of years when I was heavy. Now, almost six month post-op, I am on my periods again. In fact, I've just started on my third month period today. So, it's a relief that they are a month apart.

These happen after surgery, so it should not be a problem. But if something happens, let the doctor know about it.
