Can period be delayed by 10 days?

Doctor 1

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.

I have fibroids one outside the uterine wall and three inside the uterus but outside the cavity. Two are quite large, so my doctor suggested laparoscopy surgery. Can you explain how this procedure works? Is it similar to a C-section where the uterus is stitched, and could it affect my fertility in the future?
