Hi again guys,

Sorry for all the questions, I’d rather ask here than my surgery where I actually work See no evil

Had my surgery JULY 14 and I’m due on any day now, what was your first monthly cycle like after surgery, was it any different, I am still injecting the Enoxaparin whether that will make any difference but was just wondering if any of you had experienced any differences weeks after surgery 

Thanks 

VJS 

  • Sorry VJS1985

    Although I had the same surgery my periods had stopped think I’m a lot older than you

    Im not sure if the blood thinners will make a difference it’s a really good question  

    Why not phone the nurses here they’re brilliant , I talked to them before and had really good advice  

    I had discharge from there after surgery it subsided thank goodness. Think it was because I had open surgery and my bowel was lifted to get to the cancer 

    Hope all goes well

  • hi VJS I was over the menopause by the time I had my first op but that first night I was drenched in sweat and needed my nightie, sheets and pillows cases  changed repeatedly each night. I went on HRT patches for a year which solved my problem. I believe the op had triggered the night sweats.

  • Good grief Kath

    Thats horrible , one lot of menopause is more than enough for anyone.

    Poor you suffering it twice.

  • Tell me about it Artsie - I was also at that time constantly thirsty and never got enough water to drink. I was later diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease stage 4.

  • Oh no.

    Thats tough , night sweats and kidney as fast as you put the fluids in they’re out 

    You sound like my hubby. He’s had one thing after another, he had stage four kidney, liver and PD. I said he’s just attention seeking and now he needs to stop! Bless him
