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'm a bit concerned about some lingering pains I've been experiencing after my vacuum-assisted delivery back at the end of November 2016. I still have knee and waist pain, and there's a stitch on the outside of my vagina that's causing a stretching pain. Could you let me know when it might be safe for my husband and I to start being intimate again?

I'm dealing with a really bad cold, and it's making my nose run a lot. I'm also sneezing and coughing, and sometimes I get headaches too. I didnt see a doctor, but I took this medicine called Citzine. Now, I've noticed that my vaginal discharge seems a lot more than usualit's clear, slimy, and watery. Could this be related to my cold, or is it something else? Or maybe it's a side effect of the Citzine? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

BOTH ARE SEPARATE PROBLEM NO RELATION WITH CETRIZINE. FOR RUNNING NOSE TAB CHESTON COLD TOTAL TWO TIMES A DAY AFTER FOOD FOR THREE TO FIVE DAYS. TAB MONTUK 10 MG ONE AT NIGHT FOR THREE TO FIVE DAYS OR AS REQUIRED.

I'm worried because I've missed my period after taking the i-pill three months ago. I did get my period twice after taking it, but now Ive skipped it in December. Could you please suggest any medications or withdrawal treatments that might help regulate my cycle, like it used to be before I took the i-pill?

You can consider taking Regestrone or Deviry to induce your periods and regulate your menstrual cycle.
