Whether surgery can be performed during menstruation depends on the type of surgery, the woman's health status and the specific circumstances of the period. It should be fully discussed with the doctor before deciding. In general, surgery is not recommended during the period. During the period, the coagulation function of the woman's body will be affected to some extent. Bleeding during surgery may be relatively high, and recovery after surgery may be slow. The type of surgery: Some procedures may be relatively safe during your period, while others may increase the risk. For example, minor cosmetic surgery, dental surgery, or gynaecological examinations can usually be performed during your period. However, for larger surgeries, such as cardiovascular surgery, orthopedic surgery, or abdominal surgery, doctors may recommend performing them after periods to reduce the risk of bleeding and other complications. 2. Women's health: The risk of surgery may increase if a woman has any health problems, such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorders, or other conditions. In this case, the doctor will assess the woman's overall health and may postpone surgery until the period is over or take other preventive measures. 3. Period conditions: Different stages of the period may also affect the decision to undergo surgery. In the early or late stages of the period, the amount of bleeding may be relatively small, while during the period, the amount of bleeding may be more. The doctor considers these factors and has a thorough discussion with the woman to weigh the risks and benefits of surgery. If a woman needs surgery during her period, the doctor may take steps to reduce bleeding and other potential risks. This may include using hemostatic drugs, adjusting surgical techniques, and closely monitoring coagulation. In addition, women need to pay attention to personal hygiene before and after surgery and follow the doctor's advice for care. It is important to note that the impact of periods during surgery may vary for special groups, such as prepubescent girls, menopausal or postmenopausal women. Doctors will evaluate and make decisions on an individual basis. All in all, surgery during menstruation requires a combination of the type of surgery, the woman's health and the specific circumstances of the period. Before deciding on the timing of surgery, women should discuss the risks and benefits of surgery in detail with their doctor and make decisions based on the doctor's recommendations. At the same time, women should also pay attention to body rest and care during menstruation and maintain good personal hygiene habits.
