What Causes Periods After Appendix Removal Surgery?

Hi. I had my appendix removed 2 weeks ago as the burst inside me. About a week later I started my period, not sure if this is normal from the surgery, but anyway, my period stopped but I ve continued having discharge, at first it was brown (so assumed it was old blood), but now it s a yellow colour!! Any advice please

Hi, I think it is normal to have early or delayed periods after a surgery due to the stress factor. Discharge can be due to some vaginal infection. Get yourself examined by a gynecologist. You may need some antibiotics and antifungal drugs.
