Can uterine fibroid surgery be performed during menstruation?

Patient's question:

I have a colleague who has been experiencing mild lower abdominal pain for half a year, and her menstrual cycle has always been irregular. Every time she has her period, she has blood clots. She took some uterine-warming medicine, but it didn't help. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, she was found to have uterine fibroids. Hello, can uterine fibroid surgery be performed during the menstrual period?

Doctor's answer:

If you are planning to have a uterine fibroid surgery, it is better to avoid the menstrual period. It is preferable to wait until the menstrual period is completely over and then go to the hospital three days later for the uterine fibroid removal surgery. If you only plan to remove the uterine fibroid while preserving the uterus, it is even more important to avoid the menstrual period. If your uterine fibroids are only one or two, and in addition to pregnancy advice in the future, you can consider undergoing a uterine fibroid enucleation to preserve the uterus, allowing for the possibility of normal pregnancy and conception in the future.
