GIRL QUESTION...:)

[PrettyMe 18]

I was curious to know if the surgeon will still perform surgery if your on your period? If so, which is okay to wear, a tampon or a pad? Hope this isn't too weird of a question lol

They will operate still. They will give u a pad to wear during the surgery.

I was on my period as well during surgery and I was not able to use my own pad or tampon. They gave me a pad.

Me too, the nurse said this happens a lot. LOL due to hormone changes during pre-op diet and stress.

Whew! Ok great! Lol i was kinda worried they would reschedule. ..

That's really good to know! I'm almost in menopause & can't predict when I'll have my next period.

Thanks for asking this question!

So funny you asked!! I did ask that at my appointment with my surgery on Friday. He said they will still operate. He said that the nurses have seen it and will deal with it.

Thanks ladies, I had my surgery July 18th and i thought i was going to b on my period since it usually lasts a week, but that pre op diet i was on for two weeks changed it! Lol and only lasted 4 days! Im happy i didnt have to deal with the surgery AND my period at the same time..lol

I started my period the morning I had my gallbladder out. Quite interesting trying to get onto the table and hold a pad between your legs!!!! I'm going to start mine any second, so hopefully I won't be when I have this surgery!
