Had ACL reconstruction surgery a month ago and my periods are late my last cycle started right before the surgery. Normally, my next cycle comes around 45 days early. Could the anesthesia or strong meds from the surgery be causing this delay?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it's possible that the surgery, anesthesia, or medications could be contributing to your late period. Surgery and anesthesia induce stress, which can affect hormone levels and menstrual cycles. The strong pain medication used after surgery could also have an effect. It's advisable to discuss this with your doctor to assess the cause of the delay and rule out any other potential factors

I've been having looseness and instability in my knee with some pressure, and when I stand on one leg and bend the other knee, I hear a mild obstructive sound. My MRI showed subtle signal changes in the ACL and a bit of fluid in the patellofemoral joint space. Can this be fully treated with physio, or would arthroscopic surgery work better? What's the most effective solution for this?
