Period during surgery?

[Sunshineprincess 58]

I know this is like the smallest thing to worry about but alas I am. Does anyone know if they will do your surgery while on your period? Or is there something they do? Just curious lol I've been trying to judge if I'll be on mine on surgery day ugh. Thanks for any responses.

Yes, they will do your surgery if you get your period. Several posters here have talked about having had that situation happen.

I was due for mine on my surgery day...but luckily the presurg diet and nerves made it come a week late.

I take back to back birth control and never get my period. Night before I had questionable spotting then the night I was in the hospital got a light on. I don’t think they cared during surgery and after I got super sexy mesh undies and a HUGE pad. It was the stress of surgery. I even needed the nurse to help me place the pads every time because of pain. Don’t fret. It happens plus they’ve all dealt with pregnant women at some point and they bleed much more. At first I was embarrassed then I didn’t give two you know what’s.

Sometimes it's just a part of the weight,loss game or surgery. Got mine in the middle of gall bladder surgery, went into the operation just fine when I woke up in recovery,I had a pad and the mesh panties on. Nobody said much about it but I was embarrassed.😩

Thanks everyone this makes me relax about that. I've been counting days and it should be week before but of course all the stress and anxiety of upcoming surgery has made it late this month so next month will be off too. But I'm gonna relax about it now and if it's there on surgery day oh well lol

The nurses seriously deal with way more disgusting things. I’d rather deal with a woman on her period than get pooped, peed, or puked on. Half the time I’m post op I’d just walk around naked if there weren’t other patients and just nurses/assistants.

I'm also due TODAY for Aunt Flo to come ruin my week but no sign so far... I have surgery in 9 days and have crazy heavy painful periods for the first 4 days.. the last thing I need is it hitting on surgery day, so she damned well better hurry up already! (def not preggers as hubby got sorted over a year ago )

I'm not overly concerned/embarrassed about the idea of period bleeding at hospital, I just know how badly my periods suck and don't want to be dealing with that pain at the same time as gas and surgery pains.

(crosses fingers that it comes and buggers off again before 2nd May!!!)

Yes I didn't want to deal with it at surgery time either lol but oh well if I have to I will. It'll be worth it in the end. Just want to get the surgery done now....even tho bin crazy nervous I'm ready to get the ball rolling. Good luck to you all too.

Mine started two days before surgery. I let my nurse know when I checked in and she brought me some of that fancy mesh underwear and a maternity pad 🤣 Wasn’t comfortable but it was no problem for them

OR nurse here, happens all the time. Most patients are younger females, so I'd say I get patients with this issue at least once a day, completely non issue.

Most hospitals will let you keep your underwear and a pad on no problem
