A member asked:
Can you wear a tampon during surgery? i am scheduled for hernia repair on tuesday 18th and have just started my period so i will be bleeding then
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You have to let: your doctor and anesthesiologist know , some times wet tampon will conduct electricity if electric cautery is used , may cause burns , the team will take appropriate precautions to prevent it , inform them and then don't worry .
