A member asked:
How common is it to have missed a period after an appendectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unheard of: It may not be normal, but stress of surgery can alter the normal hormonal balance in the body and throw off your normal menstrual cycle. If you have more than 1 month of irregularity, however, you may be best suited to check in with a gynecologist.
