In general, elective surgery can be arranged for outpatient surgery if the patient has no serious medical diseases (hypertension, diabetes, and other diseases are well controlled for surgery) and is not currently suffering from acute diseases such as cold, fever, cough, or asthma attack.

Women should avoid menstruation and preferably have surgery 3-5 days after menstruation. It is best for women not to have intercourse after menstruation until the surgery, and for men not to have intercourse 3 days before the surgery to ensure sufficient rest.
Surgery can be performed all year round, and the general change in temperature will not increase the chance of infection.
