A member asked:
Is it okay to have a laparoscopy during a period?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably yes: It would depend on why you are having the surgery. From the general surgery standpoint it is fine. If it is for a gynecology condition then ask your surgeon.

Yes: One advantage of performing surgery during the menses is that pregnancy is not possible during the period.
