Intraoperative blood loss was reduced in the group given tranexamic acid preoperatively (mean loss 489.07± 279.248 ml) v/s the control group (mean loss 539.93 ± 211.08ml) (p<0.05). This result was particularly significant in the subjects who underwent vaginal hysterectomy (mean loss 364.58 ± 108.53ml in Group II v/s 278.91 ± 118.34ml in Group I; p<0.05). The incidence of transfusion of blood or blood products intraoperative to postoperative day seven was significantly reduced in the tranexamic acid group (0.47 vs. 0.23,P  = .02).
