Period (Menstruating) Before Hysterectomy Surgery?

 I started my period this morning and I am scheduled tomorrow for my hysterectomy. What do I do? Do I call the doctor's office? Will my surgery be rescheduled?

This is usually not a problem and rarely is a surgery cancelled because of a menstruating patient.

Head to your scheduled appointment for check-in at the hospital wearing a pad. Usually the nurse will provide guidance. Sometimes mesh panties are provided that will be removed once you are in the OR.

Sometimes they will have you prepare for surgery as normal, removing your clothes and putting on the hospital gown and placing a pad under you when you get onto the gurney (hospital bed).

When you wake up, you will have another pad under you, be provided disposable panties and you will be probably bleed/spot for a week or so post-op from the surgery.

Menstruating during your surgery? Most surgeons do not consider this a problem.

If in doubt, call the doctor's office. The surgeon's office nurse will put your mind at ease.
