These eating products contains vitamin K which helps in synthesis of coagulation foctors in our body that helps in blood clotting.We clinicians usually advise to avoid those products when we prescribe anticoagulant medicines(blood thining drugs). It is better to restrict those product for those having excessive risk of blood clotting. Thouh operation like hysterectomy is a risk for blood clotting, it is not often required to restrict those food product for the same except when there is evidence of repeated episodes of clotting and/or you are on anticoagulant(warfarin) therapy. Hope I have answer your queries. Wish you good health.
