I just had surgery 6 days ago. I had ended my monthly cycle just days before the surgery so I am not due for another period in over a month but I started bleeding today like a full blown period. Should I be concerned? Is it from the steroids I was taking or maybe the compression garment is squeezing things to tight? My period is very regular and this has never happened to me before.

Answer: Stress of surgery may trigger period
Hello,
Thank you for the question. This is not my area of expertise but I have had patients describe a similar phenomenon. I think it may be possible to have a change in your period cycle after surgery. We know that stress can increase or decrease the cycle timing. I suspect all is well and your cycle will return to normal as has occurred for my patients. If it does not you may want to have your gynecologist evaluate you.
All the best,
