I Am Scheduled To Have A Complete Hysterectomy In 12
Question: I am scheduled to have a complete hysterectomy in 12 hours and just discovered a herpes sore on my labia. I have no way to get medication and have traveled far from home to have this procedure. What should I know and do? Is it safe?
Brief Answer:
You have to take medication for the same.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concern.
As you are diagnosed with herpes virus infection, you have to go for its treatment as well before going for hysterectomy( it is vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy?).
Because herpes virus infection spread during surgery to other part of body like urinary tract and cervix.
You can take treatment before going for surgery and if surgery is urgent than on treatment you can plan for hysterectomy but chances of spreading of infection are more.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
Regards
