Can a hysterectomy be performed during menstruation?

Hysterectomy cannot be performed during menstruation. Before the menstrual period, the pelvic area is in a state of congestion, making hysterectomy more likely to cause excessive bleeding, which poses significant risks to the patient. Therefore, women should not undergo hysterectomy during their menstrual period. Additionally, patients have lower resistance and increased blood loss during menstruation, increasing the risk of infection during surgery. Hysterectomy can be performed three days after menstruation ends. After surgery, adequate rest and enhanced nutrition are essential to promote recovery.
