Could the timing of your period influence how well a surgical wound heals?
NCT ID NCT07724145
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study looks at whether a woman's natural hormone levels, particularly estradiol, influence how well surgical wounds heal after breast reduction surgery. Researchers will measure hormone levels on the day of surgery and check wound healing 21 days later. The goal is to see if healing differs depending on whether surgery occurs before or after ovulation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If a link is found, surgeons might time breast reduction surgery to a specific phase of the menstrual cycle to improve healing.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It can only show an association, not cause and effect. Results may not lead to changes in practice.
