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 recently had an ultrasound at 7 weeks 2 days, but it showed I'm actually measuring at 6 weeks 6 days with a fetal heartbeat. For the past four days, I was feeling really nauseous and even threw up as soon as I woke up, but all of a sudden, since yesterday, those symptoms are completely gone and now I feel perfectly fine. Should I be worried about this change? Is it normal to have symptoms come and go at 7 weeks? I had a missed miscarriage around this same time last year, so Im pretty nervous about it happening again.

Possible reasons for recurrent seizures despite proper medication include: medication non-adherence or inconsistent levels, tumor regrowth or recurrence, seizures triggered by external factors (e.g., stress, sleep deprivation), or underlying neurological conditions (e.g., epilepsy). Other potential causes include medication side effects, interactions with other medications, or hormonal changes. Consult a neurologist for a thorough evaluation and adjustment of treatment.

I've noticed that the skin on the right side between my vagina and anus feels hard, almost like there's a lump under the skin. It's quite painful, and I'm really concerned. I'm wondering if this could be something harmful?

This could be due to a condition called a Bartholin's cyst or abscess. I recommend using sitz baths to help reduce the pain and swelling. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, antibiotics or drainage of the cyst may be necessary.

I had an ultrasound yesterday that showed a right ovarian mass measuring 43.5x20.7mm with two hemorrhagic cysts (15.0x12.0mm and 9.2x8.9mm) and no dominant follicle. The left ovary is normal. I'm really worried do I need surgery to remove the cysts or can they be treated with medication?

It's understandable to be worried about the findings from your ultrasound. Hemorrhagic ovarian cysts are usually benign, but some may need treatment, including surgery. The size and any associated symptoms will help determine the best course of action.
