Can I have a cystoscopy even if I have my period?

Question

Hello, I had an operation on Nov. 9 to remove a kidney stone recently and they put a double J tube in me afterwards. I'm having this tube removed on the morning of November 30th. so they are going to do a cystoscopy to remove it. So I was wondering since my period is coming up, is it okay if I get my period while they are removing the tube? What do you recommend I do? :) I have always used sanitary napkins or tena diapers because I am anticoagulated I have never tried tampons maybe I should try it what do you think thank you ♥️👌

Hello, thank you for your question! There is no problem with you having your period when you remove the double-J. I don't recommend changing anything in your routine at this time. Sincerely Tom Samaha, Pharmacist We'd love to!
