Can a hysterectomy be performed if the menstrual period is not clean?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I noticed a hard lump in my lower abdomen. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor told me it was a uterine fibroid. He advised me to have surgery, but the day before the surgery, my period started and wasn't completely over yet. Therefore, I want to ask if it's possible to have a uterine fibroid removal surgery when the period is not fully clean?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to clarify this for you. I've reviewed the situation you mentioned. Since your period has started, it's best not to have surgery now. Wait until your period completely ends before going to the hospital for the procedure. Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor in women, and they can be effectively treated through active surgical intervention. So, there's no need to worry too much. It's important to maintain a positive mood and avoid excessive stress. Additionally, during the treatment period, a patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient should focus on digestible and vitamin-rich foods, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. Thank you.
