Can the tummy tuck surgery throw off the menstrual cycle?

Asked By:LC0215 in Linden, Pennsylvania

I had my tummy tuck performed on April 4th and I was also menstruating on the day of surgery(my period showed up the day before surgery). I woke up this morning and I have my period again which makes it 16 days apart and also means that I've gotten it twice this month.
