Hi! I am having surgery on Friday to remove a ovarian cyst. I started my period today unexpectedly. Will my doctor still perform my surgery with me being on my period?

Hi The surgery for ovarian cyst is usually done via Laparoscopic procedures. As such there are no major contra - indications of surgery during menstrual period, but it is advisable to wait till the cycle is over. Please visit your Gynecologist for further evaluation and management. In case of further queries, please feel free to write back to me. Regards Dr Prashik Meshram
