A member asked:

Ok... i have surgery in two weeks.. will taking plan b today put me at risk for blood clots during or after surgery ?

Dr. Brian Nguyen answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Low risk: The type of hormone that would affect your clot risk is estrogen and there's no estrogen in plan b. You getting pregnant however would be bad for surgery.
