Can period be delayed by 10 days?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Periods can get delayed by any number of days. If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle. A delay of 10 days is not normal and may need evaluation.

View allI'm about 6 weeks pregnant and I've been having this light green vaginal discharge every day since week 4. There's no itching, but I'm really worried about why it's happening. I'm on thyroxine, progesterone, and folic acid tablets. Could this be related, or should I be concerned about something else?

I'm really worried because I'm about 12 weeks into my pregnancy and I feel like I need to consider my options. Is there an abortion pill available in my country's pharmacies that I could get without having to see a doctor? I realize it was a mistake, and I'm looking for advice on what medication might be safe.
For a medical abortion within the first 9 weeks of pregnancy, you can consider taking a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Mifepristone is usually taken first, followed by Misoprostol 24-48 hours later. Please consult with a healthcare provider for proper guidance on the dosage and administration.

I have a 4.9 cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary and attached my scan report. Could you check and let me know if surgery is necessary or if it can be treated with medication? Also, is there a chance it might go away on its own with lifestyle changes?
Functional ovarian cysts usually go away without treatment. If your cyst is likely functional, your provider may suggest a wait-and-see approach. You may have a follow-up ultrasound within a few weeks or months after your diagnosis to see if your cyst is getting larger, smaller or changing in any other way.
