Aspirin thins the blood. This means that your blood flows easier, and takes longer to clot.\n\nThis is dangerous during surgery as you will bleed alot, and may loose alot of blood because the cuts dont stop bleeding for a long time. \n\nThere is also a risk of interactoin with other chemicals given in the anasthetic, and pain medication given afterwards.\n\nINFORM THE DOCTOR if you have taken any within 48 hours of the procedure, as the complications may be life-thretening, even for a small procedure!

fair skinned bruise easily, not as much clotting factor in your blood, anemic, vitamin deficiency, you may need an iron supplement if you don't eat enough red meat, could be a side effect of taking aspirin.

My husband asked the same question right before his last surgery.  They said the anesthesia could make him sick and he could accidentally aspirate it (suck it back down into his lungs).  That's why they won't even let you have ice chips.  Good luck!

not aspirin but it's parent compound salicylic acid. it reacts with iron and turns purple. it's a test for impurities in aspirin.

Sure can.  Go to your ob and have them check for a blood clot.  You could have 'old blood' behind the incision causing it to become infected.  Get this taken care of asap because it can cause toxic blood.

In theory, taking an aspirin each day prevents clots, which can be bad if you start bleeding.  Whether from injuries, aneurysms, or ailments.  You and your doc should weigh the risks to see if you need to take an aspirin.

Yes, you should be able to take tylenol - it is not an NSAID, so it won't make you bleed easily like the NSAIDs do.

Well i think it has helped my joints after exercise. I like the natural anti inflammatory effects rather than NSAIDS like aspirin ibuprofen. But you have to be careful of the amount to much could thin the blood stop this before surgery or make you doctor aware. Hope this helps

There is no aspirin in Panadol; it is made from acetometaphin.  \n\nIt is okay on an empty stomach, but you need water with it anyway and you shouldn't do it very often.

see a doctor. But if you have an attack before then, I would suggest taking something like aspirin then turning out all the lights and eliminating noise as best you can.

Based on your question, I assume you are taking a baby aspirin for heart health. Unless you have any clotting disorders that contraindicate aspirin, it is perfectly safe...and certainly safe to take it with Co-Enzyme Q10.

This sounds more like a reaction to the anesthetic than a true health problem. At least from the information you listed.\nDid your doctor tell you you have a heart problem?\nIf not it was a reaction to the surgery.\n\nMy wife is a nurse who cares for a variety of patients. She says she hopes you had all of your female parts removed to eliminate the chance of cancer spreading. \n\nAll you can do now is take lots of time with your children and teach them to be the best people they can be. That way if you leave them they will have had a good foundation to help them live a good life as adults. If you can afford it, buy some more life insurance to help them in case you die. We have annuities that we can collect even if we live to be old!\n\nGood luck.........

Aspirin is generally used as a painkiller although recent studies have suggested a use as a method of controlling blood pressure
