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 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.
