female only i'm worried

[iamworthit 208]

I am so worried I am going to be on my period day of surgery. I can tell I am going to start soon. I just wish it would happen. With PCOS they are never regular. My surgery is June 12th.

Honey I was on my period on surgery day and I promise you it was the farthest thing from my mind. And on top of that they put a catheter in. You will be fine and good luck!

Unfortunately I was not instead I was giving these stretchable underwear that barely fit.

No one having surgery should ever have a tampon in. Hypothetically, if something happened during surgery and lets say a patient ended up in a coma or on a ventilator for any period of time that tampon would be in there for far too long, drastically increasing your risk of infection, basically because no one would think to go look for it and remove it, you know? Trust me when I say you are not the first nor the last person to have their period during surgery. No one will bat an eye at you. It's really no big deal! Relax and take some deep breaths

Darn. I can only imagine the gigantic generic maxi pad they would provide...

Well it may be different at other hospitals but my pad was made into the underwear and the pad itself was not big at all

I had mine too- very embarrassing as some poor nurse had to put in a foley, plus I was in too much pain to properly clean myself the first night and someone had to help- yuck. They will give you ill fitting stretch undies and cheap pads. It is what it is, right?

I'm glad I don't have to worry about thst issue anymore.

I'm 33 and 10 years postmenopausal. But I can understand being worried about it the day of surgery. Like others have said, it will end up being the last thing on your mind the day of surgery when it's all said and done. And you'll have a team of people that are used to dealing with this type of thing while women are in the hospital. Talk with your nurses after you get into your room after recovery and let them know so that after your catheter is taken out.

On the morning of the surgery if you do start, make sure to pack some pads with you that you can wear after your surgery is over. Good luck!

could you bring your own pads to wear? I don't like pads at all but if I am goint to wear them I would at least like them to be comfy.
