FAQs
Why do periods get heavier after gastric sleeve surgery?
Rapid weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, hormone changes, uterine fibroids, IUDs, and medications can all cause heavier bleeding after sleeve surgery. The body takes time to adjust to the metabolic changes.
When does menstrual bleeding usually normalize after bariatric surgery?
For most women, menstrual cycles tend to regulate within 4 to 6 months after weight loss stabilizes from gastric sleeve surgery. Give your body time to adapt to the hormonal changes.
What are treatment options for prolonged heavy periods after a sleeve gastrectomy?
Iron supplements, NSAIDs, hormonal birth control, other hormones like progesterone, tranexamic acid, endometrial ablation, uterine artery embolization, myomectomy, or hysterectomy may be used for stubborn heavy bleeding.
Can getting pregnant be harder if periods are heavy post-surgery?
No, research shows bariatric surgery does not reduce fertility. Handle any nutritional deficiencies, get the heavy bleeding under control, and you should be able to conceive normally.
When should I see a doctor about heavy menstrual bleeding after sleeve surgery?
See your doctor if you bleed longer than 12 days, need to change protection hourly, have clots bigger than a quarter, experience weakness or dizziness, have foul discharge, or your period doesn't regulate 6 months post-op.
