🩺🩸 Worried about getting your period during surgery?
You’re not alone — and in most cases, it’s completely okay.
Many patients are surprised to learn that being on your menstrual cycle usually does NOT mean your procedure has to be canceled. Your surgical team is experienced in handling this and will help keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the process. 💕
Hormonal changes during your cycle may cause a little extra swelling, bloating, tenderness, or emotional sensitivity, but communication with your provider is key. Always let your team know ahead of time so they can give you the best pre-op and post-op guidance.
It’s also normal for surgery stress, anesthesia, or medications to temporarily affect your next cycle afterward.
Every patient and procedure is different, so always follow your surgeon’s recommendations first. ✨
