[|Human|] I m a 48yo female. I m scheduled to have a total knee replacemt. My worry, my periods are irregular, will having my period during the date of my tkr and hospital stay delay the surgery? I understand I will have a catheter, how does having my period affect that?
[|AI|]  Because of max. Blood loss it can delay your surgery, but doctors can give u a hormone medicine to control your menstrual cycle.  During surgery there will be a blood loss and hence menstrual cycle also have blood loss due to it your blood pressure can get decreased and u can have a shock. But don't get worried because u can have medicine to stop menstrual cycle and at the age of 48 there is no such kind of great blood loss in menstrual cycle can have.
