For The Ladies: What is it about this surgery that causes irregular periods?

I know it is not uncommon for women to start their period immediately after surgery, miss a few or even have them a lot heavier than before surgery. I missed mine last month. (I am five months post-op) Now I have one, but I am on my 11th day. I have NEVER had a period last longer than four days. I called my surgeon's office and the nurse had no clue. Acted as if she had never heard of such. Does anyone know WHY this happens and if it is a possibility that they will be irregular from now on? Thanks!! Debbie
