Menstrual cycle

I am five months post op. I'm not taking any form of birth control but recently started having periods that are lasting a long time. Should I contact my dr to stop the bleeding ???? I'm getting concerned how long it's lasting and I e recently had issues with low folic acid vitamin d and iron and started taking supplements for that...could that be the issue???

see your doctor as you may have a hormone imbalance or need a scan to see what is causing this. good luck.

It's not uncommon for your cycle to be messed up for a while after surgery and while you're losing weight rapidly.  It still seems like a good idea to talk with your doctor, though, to make sure there's nothing medically wrong that's causing it.  Also, if you're bleeding a lot, you'll want to get some blood work done more often, including a CBC, iron and ferritin, because you may need to take extra iron for now.

Ty. With all my iron issues I thought this might be sumthing that might need checking into. I'm headed to the dr tomorrow. I will keep u all posted on what I find out. Ty all for being the number one place I go to where I feel I can honest answers from my fellow gastric bypassers!
