Answers: Especially for patients on aspirin and Plavix therapy.
Before surgery, you should be having blood work done. They will look at different lab values, such as your platelet count and your INR if you are taking certain anticoagulant/blood thinners. If you have a history of bleeding tendencies, you should alert your surgeon before the surgery. The surgeon should also tell you when you should stop any taking anything that can increase bleeding. (Don't forget to let the surgeon know about any non-prescription medications you might be taking.)
Stop the aspirin,Plavix stuff, then check white blood cells. Is not a matter of bleeding so much as it is a matter of unwanted blood flow. Thinners increase blood flow. White Blood cells help to naturally scab or block unwanted blood flow.
But ask your Doctor or Surgeon cause they may have a soup remedy at the ready.
