A member asked:

I am going to have my period the day of my surgery. i am having reconstructive hip surgery and will not be allowed to wear underwear. what do i do?

Not to worry at all.: Do let the nurse looking after you that day, know about it and she'll provide you with a pad (s). Rest assured everything will be fine. Good luck and happy holidays.
