Can a woman have a d and c and ablation while on their period?

Yes, a woman can have a dilation and curettage (D&C) and endometrial ablation while on her period, although it may depend on the specific circumstances and the doctor's recommendation. Performing these procedures during menstruation can sometimes complicate the process due to the presence of menstrual blood. It's essential for the patient to discuss timing and potential risks with her healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
