Can I have double eyelid surgery during menstruation?

Double eyelid surgery cannot be performed during menstruation. It must wait until the end of the menstrual period before undergoing surgical treatment. The reason why surgery cannot be performed during menstruation is because it may cause bleeding time to increase. During menstruation, women's physical fitness is relatively poor and their blood vessels are less elastic, which can easily prolong the recovery time, cause a decrease in women's immunity, and easily lead to some infection problems.

Can I have double eyelid surgery during menstruation?

1. Long bleeding time. In a normal human body, there are fibrinolysin, which has a coagulation effect, and plasmin, which has a hemolytic effect. The blood in the human body can circulate normally only when these two substances are kept in balance. However, during the menstrual period, this balance is broken, plasmin is activated, and the blood in the body becomes difficult to coagulate. Normal menstrual blood of women is not easy to coagulate.

2. Increased blood vessel fragility. Since blood is not easy to coagulate, once a blood vessel ruptures (such as surgical injury), even a small blood vessel ruptures, it may lead to serious consequences. If the bleeding does not stop or a hematoma forms due to bleeding from the wound, the recovery time will be prolonged. In addition, if the hematoma becomes a base for bacterial reproduction, it may cause infection.

3. Decreased immunity During menstruation, due to endocrine imbalance, the human body's resistance to viruses is significantly lower than usual, which increases the chance of infection. If the surgery is more traumatic, the recovery period will be prolonged and postoperative complications are likely to occur.

4. Prone to infection: Due to endocrine imbalance in women during menstruation, they are more likely to experience fatigue, swelling, pain, and mood swings than usual. The body's resistance to pathogens is also significantly lower than that of normal people. If they force themselves to undergo surgery during menstruation, they will not only have poor psychological tolerance for surgery, but also poor resistance to infection, which makes them prone to postoperative infection.

Physiological characteristics of menstruation

Menstruation is a physiological change unique to women, commonly known as "period". In addition to maintaining female characteristics and reproductive functions, this change often affects the bleeding and coagulation mechanisms of the human body. In addition, due to the influence of endocrine hormones, various body systems of women during menstruation also undergo corresponding changes, such as increased vascular fragility, prolonged coagulation time, and decreased body immunity. If surgery is performed at this time, accidents are likely to occur.
