Turmeric and surgery

My partner is on blood thinners so I don’t add turmeric to his food although I add it to mine whenever possible. I was going to have radiotherapy on my hands years ago because of Dupuytrans and was told to stop taking turmeric for a while before I had it done.

Same here. Told to stop Turmeric a month before surgery . Mr C was forbidden Omega capsules before his cardiac surgery and advised to stop taking a multi vitamin/mineral mix. Always best to check it seems

Yes, I have as I have to avoid it.

Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning or anticoagulant properties so it shouldn't be taken with drugs that have the same effect. Even for day cases, surgeons may prescribe a shot of heparin which is an anti-coagulant.
