Can I have surgery on my period?

Expert answer:

Yes. The fact that you are menstruation is not an impediment to carry out a surgery.

The woman who is menstruating can do surgery normally.

Before performing the surgery some care should be taken depending on the type of surgery. This may suspension of some medications, smoke and alcoholic beverages. Other recommendations will be given by the responsible medical team.

THE menstruation is the peeling of the inner layer of the uterus that occurs due to hormonal regulation. The presence of it during, before or after surgery will not be an impediment to the performance. The surgery will also not influence the next menses. The woman will continue menstruating normally and following the rhythm of her menstrual cycle.
