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 worried after getting my ultrasound results. It says I have mild hepatomegaly with grade I fatty liver, and there are small renal calculi in both kidneys. The report also mentions a left ovarian hemorrhagic cyst measuring 39x32mm and a mildly bulky cervix with a few nabothian cysts. There's also some free fluid in the pouch of Douglas. Can you help me understand what all this means? Is there anything serious I should be concerned about?

Fatty liver management often includes lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management. You may be referred for further liver function tests.For the renal stones drinking more water and avoiding foods that contribute to stone formation.The ovarian cyst may require monitoring, especially if there are any symptoms such as pain or changes in menstrual cycles. If the cervical cysts and bulky cervix are causing symptoms, they may need further attention.

I've been using Krimson 35 pills for a week, starting from the 10th day after my period began, up until the 17th day. Then I stopped taking them and had unprotected sex. A week later, I noticed some bleeding. Could this be implantation bleeding, or is it just my irregular menstrual cycle acting up? What are the chances that I might be pregnant? Since my periods are usually pretty irregular, I'm feeling a bit anxious.

The bleeding you noticed could be breakthrough bleeding from stopping the Krimson 35 pills, rather than implantation bleeding, as it typically happens after ovulation and would usually occur around the time of your expected period. Given your irregular cycles, it's hard to determine your exact fertile window, but there's still a chance of pregnancy, so it's advisable to take a pregnancy test after a missed period or consult your doctor.

I'm noticing a slight sensation, not exactly pain, when I bend to the left side of my lower abdomen. Any idea what could be causing this?

The slight sensation in your lower left abdomen while bending could be due to various reasons. Here are a few possibilities: 1. Digestive issues: Constipation, gas, or indigestion can cause discomfort in the lower abdomen. 2. Muscle strain: Bending can put strain on the abdominal muscles, leading to a sensation of tightness or discomfort. 3. Hernia: A small hernia in the abdominal wall can cause a sensation of discomfort or pressure when bending. 5. Kidney issues: A kidney stone or infection can cause discomfort in the lower abdomen, although this is often accompanied by pain. It's essential to consult a MD MEDICINE to determine the cause of the sensation and rule out any underlying conditions.
