I : I am unsure if this is necessary, i can not think of any instances where this would be done. However there may be certain instances that I am not aware of. I would definitely need to know what surgery you are referring to. If not, pose thus question to the treating physician. I hope you find answers soon.

No set time.: After a major procedure we may delay restarting estrogen until ambulation is normal.
