Why can't otoplasty be done when you're on your period? Mammoplasty during menstruation. Is it possible to have surgery?

Menstruation during rhinoplasty

People, help!
It turns out that my menstrual cycle moves forward by two days every month, and today I find out that my surgeon will be able to operate on me four days later than the previously agreed upon date, but the fact is that 95% of a hundred, which is exactly After these four days, my period may begin, then naturally no one will perform the operation. Is there any way to postpone my period with pills or something else? Is rhinoplasty strictly contraindicated if a girl has her period?

We are told that, of course, it is desirable that there are no critical days for the operation, but if this is the case, this is not a reason to cancel it.

Before the operation I was strictly told “no critical ones.” So I had to guess and set a date for the future operation, taking into account the characteristics of the body.

I don’t know what to do; they may or may not start. It’s better, of course, not to start, otherwise they’ll ruin the whole picture.

So contact your surgeon and ask him if he will operate in such a situation, why bother? They will start or not.

That’s the problem: I can’t contact him now, and he will only be available after February 5th, and even then not for sure. We'll have to wait until he calls the clinic and tells him exactly when he'll be back.

You have no idea how lucky you will be if they start. In general, you can perform operations no later than 10 days before the “critical” ones, or at any time after them, even the next day.

You see, if heavy bleeding begins during the operation, it will prevent the surgeon from calmly doing your nose because the bleeding will have to be stopped. And you go through more than one day with tampons in your nose like everyone else, but until your period ends. No sane doctor would allow surgery on such days.

Okay, we convinced you. I also started having a runny nose today, but I’m glad! and all because he will already be through the operation. I was simply afraid that it might start unexpectedly during the operation.

I also calculated that menstruation coincides with the operation. Maybe I can do it on the last day of my period? Or vice versa in the first? I have an agreement for any of the 5 days, it is during this period that “these days” will be. You don't have to delay your period, but call it earlier. But this is very harmful.

I'm tired of being tormented, I'll rely on chance, I think that everything will be fine. A friend of mine had Rhino done on the last day of her period, and she says everything went fine.

I heard that in recent days it is possible to have surgery. But in the beginning you can’t, you may start to have severe bleeding in the nose, bruises up to the neck and swelling like an experienced drunk.

In principle, rhinoplasty is a one-day operation, so eat more lemons, they curb the cycle, avoid alcohol and overheating, including baths. Good luck to you!

Before reno, I thought that this would be a problem for me, since I read that surgical interventions are not advisable during the menstrual cycle. Western doctors do not adhere to this rule (I asked a question) and believe that rhinoplasty can be performed during the menstrual cycle, the main thing is to inform the nurse who will prepare for the operation about this.

Hmm, there are some nuances... Why is this bad during a cycle?

Oh what are you talking about?! In general, everything is contraindicated for a girl during her cycle, not to mention plastic surgery. This is not only a physical, but also a psychological state.

And yet I think that if possible, it is better to skip all the dangerous moments and have plastic surgery during a safe period. Why take the risk?

During any operation, menstruation is at least unhygienic. Imagine, you won’t wake up immediately after the operation, and when you wake up, you will feel weak, and also these periods. Who will be from honey? staff to tinker with your gaskets?

It's actually very unhygienic. . I wouldn’t even think about this aspect from this side, to be honest. Or maybe menstruation is also bad because the uterus relaxes and bleeding may begin? Do not know?

An operation during this period is dangerous because the hemostatic drugs administered during the operation will rebuild your body, causing hormonal disruption, or may simply not work, so the operation needs to be moved.

In short, not only with rhinoplasty, but with any plastic surgery, you should not risk your health. That is, you should not do it during menstruation. Even if the doctor doesn't say anything.

Of course, it is better to foresee everything in advance, all possible negative consequences. Otherwise you will have to reap the fruits of carelessness. But the doctor’s position is not clear to me. Maybe he just doesn't know?

I think it's just some kind of blinding. When the doctor has simply said the same thing so many times that he simply forgets to say the same to you personally.

Well, you shouldn’t rely only on the doctor’s opinion. You definitely need to go through different blogs and forums and see who had what and what advice and recommendations they gave people!

Yes, sure! Pre-op jitters hit you, you don’t know what awaits you and how it will all end, what questions to ask whom. In short, a complete atas!

Yeah. It is difficult to imagine a person’s condition before surgery. There is fear and excitement here. and there is no need to worry. Is it dangerous. Nerves generally provoke all diseases.

This is all understandable, but I think that before you decide to have rhinoplasty, you need to determine for yourself whether you really need surgical intervention or not. Well, after making a decision, there is no need to doubt it!

And menstruation does not really affect rhinoplasty, only if it is done poorly and bleeds, then the bleeding will be a little stronger. That's all, but consult your doctor.

But I think that it’s still not worth the risk of having rhinoplasty during menstruation. Because the doctor may not guess: he will say that there is nothing wrong, and then shrug his shoulders.

If you do not know exactly your cycle, then consult your gynecologist so that he can prescribe pills that can delay your period. Of course, you will have to take hormonal ones. In general, do rhinoplasty after your period is over. In this case, you can't go wrong.

What's the result?

Considering the fact that complications may occur after surgery during menstruation, most specialists may refuse to surgically resolve the issue until your menstruation ends. There is no point in taking risks when it comes to routine surgery that can be postponed without any consequences. The same applies to elective surgery. But emergency operations are carried out urgently. In this case, you need to rely on the professionalism of doctors and the good health of your body.

Gynecologists are the first to prohibit any invasive interventions during this period. They do not recommend surgery even three days before the onset of menstruation. It goes without saying that anesthesiologists are not happy with this prospect either, because of the problems that they will have to face during the event. Surgeons, in turn, strive to reschedule the operation to a more physiologically suitable date, due to the very high probability of bleeding, which always poses an increased danger to the patient.

Why can't you have surgery during your period? Significant changes in the female body do not contribute in any way to carrying out such complex events. The risk of developing various complications, including severe ones, is quite high. Hormonal changes, poor blood clotting, problems with the metabolism of certain enzymes are the main provoking factors, due to which postponing a surgical solution to the problem becomes quite logical.

Is it possible to have surgery during menstruation? This question is asked by many patients. After all, it’s no secret that the female body is more susceptible to hormonal changes. Does the day of the menstrual cycle somehow affect the performance of medical procedures? Is it possible to develop complications?

Is it possible to have rhinoplasty if you have a runny nose? Tips + Photos and Videos

Rhinoplasty in questions and answers. Is it possible to have rhinoplasty if you have a runny nose, and what are the main contraindications for surgery?

Rhinoplasty is the most complex plastic surgery aimed at changing the shape of the nose from the inside; patients may need it both after an injury and to solve cosmetic defects.

There are absolute and relative contraindications to any plastic surgery.

But what if you have chronic rhinitis or get sick right before surgery?

Cosmetology procedures

At the very beginning of the menstrual cycle, you cannot carry out deep chemical peeling of the skin, this is fraught with reactions due to hormonal imbalance. Unforeseen consequences and allergies are often observed in patients after lifting procedures, skin tightening with threads, cosmetic tattooing, tattooing, Botox injections, etc., carried out during menstruation.

All women know that chemical or even regular hair curling, coloring and cutting do not bring the desired results during menstruation. Many people consider this simply superstition, but only until the first unsuccessful experiment on themselves. Unfortunately, surgery is not like dyeing your hair; failures here are unacceptable and can have the most dire consequences. If you have the opportunity to delay the operation, do it, don’t take unnecessary risks!

Despite all of the above, in European countries not a single doctor will cancel a planned operation due to the wrong period of menstruation. It is believed that no features of the body’s hormonal and circulatory systems during this period can cause harm or complicate the operation. In the last few years, among Russian doctors, the theory that menstruation is an absolutely normal natural state of a woman has become more widespread.

The most frequently asked question from patients

Is it possible to have rhinoplasty if you have a runny nose, or should it be postponed?

Experienced plastic surgeons definitely say yes, it’s worth delaying the operation.

It’s more difficult with sinusitis. When the sinuses above the upper jaw become inflamed and not treated in a timely manner, sinusitis becomes chronic. This can be fatal for the patient due to the possibility of complications. The operation is not only postponed, but also serious conservative treatment is prescribed. Constant weakness, migraines, fever are prohibited symptoms for surgery.

In case of colds and allergic rhinitis, the operation must be postponed; due to the illness, the body is very weak and is not ready for the recovery period.

At what age can you have rhinoplasty?

Recommended age: 20 to 40 years. Before age 20, bones and cartilage have not yet fully formed, so surgery may be ineffective and cause harm.

After 40 years, it is advisable to use other types of correction to prevent eye complications and a difficult period of healing and rehabilitation. In any case, a doctor’s consultation is necessary; there are often cases when a small child needs surgery after suffering an injury and it is simply impossible to postpone it.

What needs to be done before surgery? Describe the process and recovery period

It is necessary to pass a standard set of tests, undergo fluorography and ECG, and make sure that there are no absolute contraindications to rhinoplasty.

Immediately before rhinoplasty, the surgeon conducts at least 2 consultations with the preparation of a computer model of the expected changes. Next, there is a meeting with the anesthesiologist, and then the operation itself.

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and lasts about an hour.

Many people believe that the recovery period is very painful. In fact, the patient experiences discomfort only for up to 3 days, until the drainage from the nostrils is removed.

A splint is applied to the operated area to prevent damage and facilitate rapid resolution of swelling.

The plaster cast is removed after 7-10 days.

Bruising and bruising above and below the eyelids may be present for a maximum of 2 weeks; this is a natural process.

Full recovery and improvement in appearance occurs in a couple of months.

Are repeat operations necessary?

In 95% of cases, no complications are observed; in rare situations, further surgical intervention is possible, but only after at least six months.

What are the absolute contraindications to rhinoplasty?

Severe form of diseases of internal organs, blood diseases (clotting disorders).

Is hepatitis C an absolute contraindication?

The most serious infectious disease causing the liver has 2 phases: inactive and active. Few surgeons agree to perform surgery, but only in the inactive stage. The most important point is to ensure that staff are fully protected from infection and informed of the possible consequences. The presence of such a serious illness cannot be hidden from employees.

At what stage of diabetes can surgery be refused?

If there is 10 mmol/l glucose in the blood, a person develops a decompensated stage of diabetes mellitus. In this case, doctors will definitely refuse to perform the operation. The worst consequence after surgery for diabetes is the development of tissue necrosis.

Are there any vision limitations?

You may be denied surgery only if urgent measures to save your vision are necessary. In other cases, there are no contraindications.

The only caveat is that for the first 3 months you won’t be able to use glasses, only lenses.

Why not?

The main reason for refusal of planned surgical intervention during menstruation is the appearance of changes in the hormonal and hematopoietic systems of a woman.
All these changes lead to more massive blood loss during surgery, and as a result, the risk of postoperative anemia and other complications increases, the treatment of which sometimes requires additional surgical intervention.

Likewise, anesthesiologists are opposed to performing operations these days. They explain this with the following arguments:

1. During menstruation, sensitivity to medications changes.
2. The pain sensitivity threshold decreases.
3. Reducing the protective reactions of the immune system.

All planned gynecological operations are prohibited during menstruation, as well as two to three days before it.

The main reasons why surgery and menstruation are incompatible in most cases are based on the fact that at this time women:

• hemoglobin levels decrease;
• blood clotting worse;
• hormonal levels change;
• the susceptibility of standard doses of medications decreases or increases;
• the content of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets in the blood is reduced;
• the pain threshold decreases;
• The body's defense reactions, especially the immune system, deteriorate.

The presence of menstruation can also affect the anesthesia given during the operation and the blood test that will be prescribed on the eve of the operation to correctly determine the necessary anesthesia. Even urine and feces, in order to get reliable results, need to be tested a few days after the end of menstruation.

Menstruation after surgery will cause a woman less inconvenience than if she has a postoperative period and the need to observe personal hygiene rules.

The period of menstruation is accompanied by serious processes that are important to consider when planning an operation.

Therefore, surgical intervention during this period can lead to a number of complications.

The second important reason for refusing surgery during menstruation is that there is a deterioration in blood clotting. This is directly related to the first factor and threatens the occurrence of difficult-to-control bleeding.

During menstruation, it is not recommended to take anesthesia drugs for the following reasons:

• the body's sensitivity to drugs increases, which requires dosage adjustment;
• the pain threshold decreases;
• The reaction to some medications changes, so the results of the studies may be incorrect.

If the operation is performed during menstruation, the risk of infection increases in the body, since it is weakened and the immune defense is suppressed.

The main reason why operations cannot be performed during menstruation is that at this time the body’s hormonal levels change and, as a result, the risk of complications increases, and the rehabilitation period may take longer than usual and with complications. Doctors are extremely reluctant to undertake strip operations due to the fact that a woman’s blood has a much lower level of coagulation during menstruation than usual. And this threatens uncontrolled bleeding, which is life-threatening for the patient.

In addition to surgeons, anesthesiologists are the most often opposed to performing operations during menstruation. They justify their decision with the following reasons:

• decreased or increased sensitivity of patients to usual doses of medications;
• reduced pain sensitivity threshold;
• decrease in the body's defense reactions (immunity).

In addition, the choice of method and drugs for anesthesia is made based on the results of tests taken earlier, and they may be unreliable if the study was carried out during menstruation. The hemoglobin level will probably be lowered due to significant blood loss at this time. Also, in a general blood test, the level of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and hematocrit will most likely be underestimated.

But the ESR indicator, on the contrary, increases. The result of a biochemical blood test may show an unreasonably high level of blood clotting, which is observed exclusively at the beginning of the menstrual cycle.

Urine and stool tests should not be taken earlier than five days after the end of menstrual bleeding, as otherwise the results will be greatly distorted. Thus, the doctor, without having information that you are having “critical days,” may erroneously make a conclusion about health problems.

For all gynecological operations (except emergency ones), menstruation is a direct contraindication. Also, planned intervention is not carried out two to three days before the start of menstruation. As a rule, most of them are prescribed on days 7-10 of the menstrual cycle, that is, after the end of bleeding, but before ovulation.

The dentist will also give you a categorical refusal. You will have to either endure or hide the presence of menstrual bleeding. But the second option is extremely undesirable; it can cause harm much more serious than a bad tooth.

Hello. After removing a large hump, plaster is always applied. Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. After 10 days, the plaster is removed and you can go out in public.

Sincerely, plastic surgeon Alexander Grudko.

Doctor, hello! What kind of nose implants do you use (natural or synthetic)? Is it possible to perform such an operation under local anesthesia? And how is the rehabilitation after such an operation?

Hello. Artificial (silicone, porex) and natural implants (own cartilage tissue and fascia) are used. The installation of implants is best performed under general anesthesia; if you wish, the operation can be performed under local anesthesia. For 7-10 days after installation of the implants, you must wear a special bandage, which is then removed. You will be able to return to work 7-10 days after the operation.

Menstruation is a natural part of every woman's life. During this period of the month, doctors recommend giving up a number of your usual activities. So it is not recommended to play sports, take hot baths and visit saunas. The restrictions are associated with reducing exposure to factors that increase blood flow to the genitals. This exposure increases the amount of menstrual flow and may cause bleeding.

Unconventional issues

Question to the anesthesiologist, what should I do if I have asthma?

After a face-to-face consultation with a specialist, it is possible to resolve this issue. If it is possible to select gentle operations for anesthesia, then the operation can be performed.

Is it possible to have rhinoplasty during menstruation?

Definitely no. Also, the period of pregnancy and breastfeeding is completely prohibited. After the end of lactation, surgery can be scheduled only after six months, in order to allow the body to recover.

Is it possible to have rhinoplasty in summer?

There are no contraindications regarding the time of year. But it is worth considering the possible inconveniences that you will experience in extreme heat or cold. If you have the opportunity to limit your stay on the street during the postoperative period, then there are no prohibitions.

Mammoplasty after childbirth: when can surgery be performed?

Childbirth and breastfeeding negatively affect the condition of the mammary glands from an aesthetic point of view, and for these reasons, breast augmentation and lifting are most often carried out after the birth of a child and the lactation period. Mammoplasty after childbirth imposes some restrictions, which must be discussed with your doctor.

Here are some of them:

1. Mammoplasty after lactation . Breast surgery is performed 6-8 months after the end of breastfeeding. The exact timing of the operation after lactation is determined by the doctor based on the examinations performed. The main thing here is to find out whether the reduction of the ducts has taken place, because if plastic surgery is performed when the milk ducts have not yet collapsed, the danger of seroma formation—an abnormal accumulation of serous fluid after surgery—increases. In addition, raw milk carries the risk of blood poisoning.
2. Planning another pregnancy . If you are planning another pregnancy after plastic surgery, please note that after the next birth, the breasts will again lose their attractive appearance, and repeat mammoplasty will be required. These are additional expenses. It's up to you to decide. At the same time, keep in mind that if you decide to get pregnant after breast augmentation, mammoplasty does not interfere with breastfeeding. Read more…
3. Mammoplasty and excess weight . After childbirth, a woman often gains weight. Before plastic surgery, it is important to normalize it, since fatty tissue in the mammary glands affects the size and shape of the breast.

Is it possible to have surgery during menstruation?

In the post-Soviet countries, it is believed that it is undesirable to perform a surgical procedure during monthly bleeding. In Europe, doctors are inclined to believe that for many women it is better to have surgery during this period.

They explain this advice by the presence of increased immunity in women at this time, which allows wounds to heal faster. In addition, they claim that rehabilitation is easier for these patients - the time frame is reduced, and hormonal changes occur without any special complications.

At the same time, available statistics indicate the correctness of the first opinion. However, regardless of the country of residence of the doctor and the patient, sometimes surgical intervention is simply necessary. This can manifest itself in a situation where a woman’s life is at risk and every minute is important. In such cases, not a single qualified physician will refuse to perform surgery on a woman during her period.

In emergency cases, the operation will be performed on any day, even during menstruation

Mammoplasty and menstruation

When answering the question whether it is possible to do mammoplasty during menstruation, it is worth considering that hormonal changes occur during menstruation, which can negatively affect rehabilitation in the first days after surgery. An experienced doctor takes into account the woman’s hormonal background when planning an operation. But this is difficult to predict. Especially when the cycle is irregular.

Mammoplasty during menstruation is undesirable due to the following circumstances:

1. Danger of severe bleeding and postoperative hematomas . During menstruation, a woman's blood clotting ability decreases, which causes heavy bleeding during surgery. Plus, there is a danger of large hematomas forming during recovery.
2. Difficulties with anesthesia . Mammoplasty before and during menstruation is not recommended by anesthesiologists, since during this period the body’s sensitivity and reaction to certain medications changes. There may be difficulties with the introduction and recovery of the patient from anesthesia. But this is not the rule.
3. Decreased immunity . During menstruation, the body's defenses weaken, increasing the risk of infectious and inflammatory diseases and complications during recovery.

Consequences after mammoplasty - read more...

Given these circumstances, performing mammoplasty during menstruation is undesirable. They try to time the procedure to coincide with the end of menstruation. But when the operation is already planned, and the patient’s cycle is irregular, the intervention is not postponed. In this case, possible complications associated with bleeding are stopped by available methods during surgery. These are medications, this is work on anesthesia, the smallest possible incisions, an extremely gentle operation, possibly even at the expense of increasing the time for the operation. At the same time, we note that the level of blood clotting is not the same: for some, during menstruation, it clots better than for others on normal days. This is also taken into account by the doctor based on test results.

MONTHROOM AFTER LAPAROSCOPY

How many days will it take to get my period after laparoscopy? It all depends on the purpose of the surgical intervention, as well as the individual characteristics of the female body. As mentioned above, surgery for women is performed mainly on days 5-7 of the cycle. If laparoscopy is strictly performed within the specified period, the menstrual cycle will not be disrupted, and menstruation should come on time. If they did not arrive on time, this does not indicate the presence of violations. You should wait, because often if failures are observed, then with a slight difference of several days.

Do not be upset if the delay after surgery is up to three months. This effect is a normal reaction of the body to surgery, especially if the procedure was performed on the reproductive organs.

It is important to know! If discharge does not appear for more than 3 months in a row after surgery, you should contact a gynecologist.

To restore hormones, the doctor will prescribe special hormonal medications. If your period does not come after a course of drug treatment, then a detailed examination is necessary.

If a woman after surgery discovers that the discharge is more aggressive in nature, then there is no need to worry, as this is also considered normal. In addition, you need to know that the first menstruation can be painful. There is no need to sound the alarm, because this phenomenon is normal.

Why does the question arise

Menstruation is a natural physiological process for any woman, occurring every month at a certain interval and duration. The menstrual cycle has its own individual characteristics. The period of menstruation is called “critical days”. It is characterized by significant hormonal disruptions, weakening of the body and decreased protection against infections.

A surgical operation is a therapeutic and diagnostic procedure based on physical, traumatic effects on tissues and internal organs. In most cases, it involves serious injury with loss of blood and a number of natural consequences. The overlap of these 2 problems (menstruation and surgery) can increase negative factors that cause various complications.

Another thing is that the operation is divided into 2 categories:

• emergency;
• planned.

Emergency intervention is carried out when there is a danger to a person’s life or serious damage to his health and ability to work. It should be carried out even in critical circumstances, and menstruation cannot be the reason for its cancellation.

The planned event should be carried out in the most optimal mode, and therefore such an operation is usually not performed during menstruation, because 5-7 days cannot seriously change the picture of the pathology. Another problem should be highlighted: nervous preoperative stress can cause unscheduled menstrual bleeding, and the date has already been set. In these conditions, surgery will have to be performed, but the doctor must be aware of the problem that has arisen and keep the situation under close control.

Why interference is prohibited

Surgeries are serious medical interventions that involve injury. These procedures are often performed under anesthesia (general or local). Surgery is prescribed only when treatment with medications does not lead to the desired effect.

Surgical intervention always leaves an imprint on the patient’s nervous system, especially since it is stressful for women during menstruation. This period is marked by significant changes in the body at the hormonal level (affecting the hematopoietic system), and this can cause the development of severe complications.

Any operations during menstruation become a risk for the future health of patients, which is why doctors try to postpone the intervention itself for some period.

During menstruation, blood clotting rates decrease, and this can contribute to the development of internal bleeding while the doctor performs all sorts of manipulations or complicate the period of rehabilitation and healing of scars.

During menstruation, the risk increases due to low blood clotting

In addition, surgical intervention is prohibited due to changes in the hematopoietic system, and this is associated with the risk of various infections. The occurrence of inflammation or the development of pigmentation in the area of ​​the operation due to the high blood supply to the area that underwent emergency intervention cannot be ruled out. Suppuration may immediately appear.

During menstruation, the hormonal levels of each representative of the fairer sex change greatly, and the body can behave completely differently. For example, anesthesia does not work because the sensitivity threshold is reduced. Doctors, pointing to the above manifestations, note the prolongation of the rehabilitation period in patients who have undergone emergency intervention during menstruation. Women may experience an increase in temperature and the development of severe pain that manifests itself in the area of ​​the scars.

Surgical intervention in the gynecological field during menstruation is also a direct contraindication. Doctors also believe that thyroid surgery during menstruation is undesirable.

It is known that with hypothyroidism, the menstrual cycle is disrupted, menopause occurs in such patients much earlier, and an insufficient amount of thyroid hormones (T4, T3) leads to miscarriage. In addition, triiodothyronine and thyroxine ensure the normal functioning of the ovaries and the cyclicity of menstruation. In this regard, any intervention during critical days without an urgent need is highly undesirable. Often after such an operation there are no periods for a long time.

Surgeries on the thyroid gland are not recommended at this time.

Possible complications

The risk of these conditions increases when surgery is performed during menstruation:

1. Formation of hematomas in the area of ​​the postoperative scar. Due to a decrease in blood clotting properties, blood accumulation occurs more often. Treatment is conservative, in severe cases - surgical.
2. Formation of rough scars. They occur when collagen metabolism is disrupted. These changes are most pronounced during menstruation.
3. The appearance of pigmented skin changes in the postoperative area. Occurs with minor hemorrhages. As a rule, they disappear on their own.
4. Purulent-inflammatory diseases in the area of ​​the operated area. The reason for their appearance is excessive blood supply to the surgical field and a decrease in the local immune response of the body. Treatment is usually conservative.
5. Inflammatory changes in the area of ​​implant installation. They occur when metabolic and hormonal processes in the body change. Treatment is conservative with the use of antibacterial agents. Sometimes it becomes necessary to remove the implants.
6. During laparoscopic operations, the risk of varicose veins of the anterior abdominal wall and internal bleeding increases. The favorable time for performing this type of intervention is considered to be the period from the fifth to the seventh day of the menstrual cycle.

If surgery is not an emergency measure to help the patient, the doctor will advise postponing the operation until a later date after the end of menstruation.

The period of menstruation is an absolute contraindication to elective gynecological surgical interventions.

Anesthesiologists, just like surgeons, will refuse to perform anesthesia for you. It is worth listening to the opinion of doctors, because these specialists are responsible not only for your health, but also for your life. Possible complications as a result of the operation performed during menstruation increase the risk of an unsuccessful outcome.

Thus, if surgical interventions are the only method of cure, then it is necessary to prepare for this carefully. Passing the mandatory list of tests and undergoing a series of instrumental studies is only part of the preparation. Together with the doctor, it is necessary to select and discuss the date of the operation, outside the days of menstruation.

If the arrival of menstruation was unplanned, for example, when it was provoked by severe stress, you should inform your doctor about this. In this case, the doctor will decide on the likelihood of performing the operation on these days or postpone it to another date.

There is no need to be frivolous when it comes to your health. Therefore, hiding the fact of the onset of menstruation from doctors leads to serious and, sometimes, insoluble consequences.

Any operations on the mammary gland should be carried out taking into account fluctuations in the level of hormones in the female body. After all, the breast actively reacts to hormonal levels.

It has never been an urgent (or urgent) operation, so an experienced plastic surgeon will help the patient choose the optimal time for it, taking into account the menstrual schedule.

Mammoplasty during menstruation is not the best idea, because it can affect the duration and course of the rehabilitation period.

Why can you have rhinoplasty during your period?

Not very competent plastic surgeons explain their refusal to operate during menstruation with three facts:

• Increased chance of bleeding;
• Increased swelling and hematomas;
• Difficulty maintaining hygiene during surgery.

Firstly, the viscosity and coagulability of blood increases during menstruation. That is, the risk of bleeding is even lower than on normal days of the cycle. Moreover, modern plastic surgeons and anesthesiologists have a lot of effective means to stop intraoperative bleeding, if it happens (although menstruation itself cannot provoke it).

Secondly, the severity and size of edema and hematomas after rhinoplasty do not depend on the menstrual cycle, but on the professionalism of the medical team. We use various medications to control and prevent swelling during rhinoplasty. And severe hematomas are typical for patients who have undergone osteotomy and resection. Aesthetic medicine has already developed techniques for performing less traumatic and more effective surgical corrections of the nose, and we use them.

Thirdly, intimate hygiene of a woman during menstruation is available even on the operating table. This issue is resolved individually, but in any case, no one has canceled absorbent tampons, which last for 4-6 hours even with heavy menstruation. This time is enough for both rhinoplasty and recovery from anesthesia. General anesthesia in plastic surgery today is a far cry from what caused chills, nausea and dizziness for 3-5 hours after surgery. We use the latest generation drugs so that the patient returns to consciousness as quickly and painlessly as possible.

There are no obstacles to performing rhinoplasty during menstruation. It is only important to find a competent plastic surgeon who will carry out an impeccable procedure, regardless of the day of the cycle and other imaginary “interferences”.

Risks and complications after abdominal surgeries performed during menstruation

Negative consequences are very real, so you need to be prepared for them just in case. Moreover, abdominal surgery is classified as complex due to extensive (compared to laparoscopy) excision and a longer rehabilitation period. Therefore, you should think carefully before rushing to have surgery during this period, especially if there is no serious threat to health or life.

So, the main possible complications:

• due to reduced coagulability, sudden bleeding may occur, and this is fraught with blood loss or subsequent hematomas at the site of the intervention;
• rough postoperative scars, but not due to the fault of the surgeon, but due to the peculiarities of collagen metabolism. Scars can be polished off later, and only then will they become less noticeable;
• inflammatory processes due to increased blood supply in the operated area;
• the appearance of pigment spots due to hemorrhage in the operated area. Within a few months, the pigmentation disappears.

Based on these probable consequences, surgical intervention can be planned only for the time before or after menstruation, ideally on days 5-10 of the cycle. This will not only reduce the risk of bad consequences of the operation, but will also give the woman time to rehabilitate and restore her ability to care for herself, and to fully maintain hygiene during her next period.

If before the operation, due to strong feelings, a woman’s body malfunctions and menstruation resumes, then almost any surgeon will prefer to postpone the intervention to a later date, thereby avoiding possible postoperative complications in the patient.

When surgery is prescribed even during menstruation

In cases where it is necessary to prescribe an operation, the doctor always tries to prioritize. Assesses the patient's condition and decides whether it is worth urgently interfering with the functioning of the organ during menstruation or whether surgical intervention can be delayed for several days. Complications after surgery can be quite serious, so before deciding on a date for surgery, you need to set your priorities.

If the need is serious, the woman is scheduled for surgery as soon as possible. In this case, it does not matter on what day her period begins or ends.

How to delay the onset of menstruation with medication?

Of course, modern medicine offers medications that can delay the onset of menstruation.

• Women who take oral contraceptives are sometimes advised not to take breaks, continuing the course for up to 60 days. However, you need to understand that the longer the delay, the higher the likelihood of developing spontaneous, breakthrough bleeding.
• Progestogens, in particular Duphaston and Norkolut, are also effective. Reception should be started in the second phase of the menstrual cycle and continued for several days after surgery. This way you can delay the onset of menstruation by 2 weeks.

You should not engage in such “therapy” on your own. All these drugs contain hormones in varying quantities. Of course, their use affects the general hormonal background, which can also lead to the development of complications after surgery. You should take such medications only with the permission of your doctor.

The effect of ovarian cysts on a woman’s periods and menstrual cycle

An ovarian cyst can appear for various reasons. Most often, its formation is provoked by an unexploded egg before ovulation. Such neoplasms often cause discomfort to patients, interfere with pregnancy and can affect menstruation. Pain and other symptoms increase as a new cycle begins. In some cases, a cyst before menstruation may resolve and come out along with other discharge. However, large lumps require medical treatment or surgical removal.

Rhinoplasty: answering questions

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgeries. And one of the first in terms of the number of questions asked. We have collected questions for the week from the social networks of plastic surgeons at the GALAXY Beauty Institute and are sharing with you the answers of our doctors.

How long does swelling last after rhinoplasty?

Everything is individual. Noticeable swelling and bruising disappear within 2-3 weeks. To speed up the rehabilitation process, the GALAXY Beauty Institute offers three free procedures or a paid extended rehabilitation course. (Staisupov V.Yu.)

How to care for your nose after surgery?

Surgeon E.A. Siverina recommends rinsing your nose with saline solution. Each nostril is irrigated separately, the second at this moment is slightly covered with the thumb, the wing of the nose cannot be pressed. The remains of the drug are blown out with an open mouth. The procedure is repeated at least three times a day for 3-4 weeks. To soften the mucous membrane and prevent the formation of crusts after treatment, peach oil is instilled into the nose. If correction of the nasal septum was performed simultaneously with rhinoplasty, rinsing is not performed.

Will the bridge of the nose become wider if the hump is removed?

No, the back width will remain the same because the bones move after the hump is removed. (Staisupov V.Yu.)

Final recommendations

If a situation arises that it is impossible to do without the help of a surgeon on the road to recovery, you should carefully prepare for this. But be sure to pass all the tests and undergo the appropriate examination prescribed by the doctor - that’s not all. You should discuss the date of the scheduled surgical intervention with a specialist, and if it coincides with critical days, jointly choose the time when it will be possible to perform the operation.

If your period does not come as scheduled due to strong worries, you need to inform the doctor about this to change the date of the operation. In the event of a non-emergency situation, the doctor will decide on what day the event can be scheduled, taking into account the fact that the tests taken are considered valid for 2 weeks.

Relying on “maybe” in matters of one’s own health is at the very least frivolous, and sometimes even dangerous. Therefore, hiding important information about your condition from doctors is often fraught with consequences that cannot always be quickly eliminated.
