Missed Period After TT- 7 Weeks Post Surgery-- Is This Common?

It's not unusual to miss a period or even two after a major surgery. The stress of surgery and anesthesia often throws off the most regular cycle. Don't worry but let your gynecologist know if this persists or you notice any other gynecologic changes.

Disruption of the menstrual cycle by a significant operations such as abdominoplasty is not uncommon.

Thank you for the question.Yes, any surgical procedure can cause alteration of the menstrual cycle.   Your cycles should return to normal within a few months;  if not,  consultation with your OB/GYN may be necessary.Best wishes.

First of all thank you for your questions.  It is not uncommon to have changes with your menstrual cycle  after surgery and anesthesia.  You may expect your periods to return to normal for your next cycle although do not worry if you do not have a period exactly when expected the next time around.  It may take a month or two to fully revert to normal. If you are still concerned you may want to follow up with your Plastic Surgeon or you OB/GYN.  Best of Luck.

It is not uncommon to have changes in your cycle after a tummy tuck or major surgery. Don't worry, it will come. 

Elective surgery and anesthesia can disrupt a woman's menstrual cycle.   If you are worried, follow-up with your OB/Gyn for a checkup.  Best wishes,
