hysterectomy

I am scheduled for a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy in 4 days.  I started my period and will be on the light days at the end by the time i have surgery.  Is this a contraindication for proceeding with the surgery or can this procedure occur at any time during the menstrual cycle?

Hello,

Menstruation is not a contraindication for this type of surgery.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
