PrettyMe 18 Posted July 13, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cookier224 238 Posted July 13, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrisG 70 Posted July 23, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crkrjax76 76 Posted July 23, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
