Question : My bhabhi is having fibroids in uterus which are growing fast. She was scheduled for Hysterectomy on 20th Feb but on 18th her mensuration cycle started as usual. Surgeon has advised to take Trapic MF and go for surgery on 20th. Is it ok to have surgery's during periods or should we postpone the surgery. Please respond immediately as we have to take decision on the same today itself.

Hello,

Yes you can go for surgery for fibroid during menstruation also.

So you just go for surgery because that will decrease bleeding also.
