Brief Answer:
You are okay to go for surgery.....Keep away from cocaine permanently!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

You are good to go for surgery with no fear despite the cocaine consumption a few days. because you only took small amounts, there is no huge fear. However, cocaine os not good for health and I will recommend that you keep away from it forever after your surgery. It only helps to destroy the health and has no great contribution to good health. If you have difficulties getting off this medication, I will suggest that you talk to an addiction specialist to help you get over it.

I wish you a very safe procedure and a rapid recovery. D&C and biopsy is a safe procedure and you should be relaxed and confident about its success and recovery.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
NO!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your honesty.

There is no increased risk of bleeding after surgery if you take cocaine. However, higher levels may caused increased blood pressure that may make controlling bleeding difficult. To be safe, only rerun to it after you have stopped bleeding and so if you are unable to keep away.

Best wishes and let me know if there is something more that I can be doing for you at this time.
