Vitamin C to reduce blood loss during hysterectomy
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving vitamin C through a vein before surgery can reduce blood loss during a total abdominal hysterectomy. If you are having this surgery and do not have bleeding problems or other exclusions, this study may help determine a way to make the procedure safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two surgical techniques to reduce bleeding during surgery to remove fibroids (benign tumors) from the uterus. The goal is to find the safest, least-bloody approach for women who need this procedure.
This trial tests if giving misoprostol before surgery can reduce blood loss during the removal of uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths). It is for women who need laparoscopic or open surgery for their fibroids.
This study tests if giving tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) before C-section can reduce bleeding during and after surgery. It may help women who have higher risks of bleeding during delivery.
This trial studies whether giving tranexamic acid during a vaginal hysterectomy (uterus removal through the vagina) can reduce blood loss. It may help some people need less bleeding during surgery, if they are able to take the medicine safely.
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking vitamin C can lower the chance of getting a urinary tract infection (UTI) after planned gynecologic surgery. It may help people who want to reduce post-surgery infection risk.
This trial tests if giving calcium through an IV before a C-section can help reduce blood loss in women at higher risk for heavy bleeding due to the uterus not contracting well.
