Prior to your surgery, you will receive instructions from the staff on how to prepare. You may also be asked to stop taking certain medications that could lead to increased bleeding, and you will be informed of any dietary restrictions as well.

Most women are able to undergo the surgery as an outpatient basis, meaning they can go home the same day. Following surgery, there will be some restrictions on activities and you will need a responsible adult to drive you home. Your nurse will carefully review these instructions with you when you are discharged from the office or hospital.
