I’m having my first period after my laparoscopy and my FLOWis unusually heavy and my cramping is worse than usual. Is this normal?
During a laparoscopy, an instrument is placed inside the uterus which allows your surgeon to move the uterus about. This instrumentation and manipulation often increases the flow of the first menstrual period after surgery and may also make the cramping more severe. This does not predict how you will do in the future.
