Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Green tea has antioxidant and blood thinning properties. This can result in heavy bleeding during surgery and the bleeding may continue post surgery. Hence all blood thinning agents be it allopathic agents or herbal preparations are stooped before surgery. This is why it is important to inform the anesthesiologist and the surgeon about all medications, herbal products and supplements you are on before you go in for surgery.
Hope this helps. Take care!
Hello, from the research I did I found that there are ingredients in green tea that can inhibit adequate blood clotting during surgery and cause you to bleed more freely, the same as if you were taking aspirins or blood thinners. Also green tea ingredients can also alter the results of some blood tests.
I Hope this helps Good Luck.
