A member asked:
Is it ok to be on my menstrual cycle during a 6hr kidney surgery if i am a heavy bleeder?

Yes: Although your periods may be heavy, the overall amount of blood loss due to this is minimal. You should be fine to proceed with your kidney surgery. Your doctor most likely checked for anemia prior to the surgery to be sure anyway.
