Husband had TURP on 7/8/11 and had to be hospitalized several times afterwards because of bleeding.  He takes Plavix and baby aspirin for 7  drug eluding heart stents put in on 1/14/10.  Can you take Plavix every other day and still have it be effective in order for his prostate to heal?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Your doctor should determine the anticoagulant and antithrombotic therapy after surgeries and in most cases Plavix should be discontinued for 2-3 days after surgery. It will not affect healing process. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
