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.

What kegel exercises will improve your sex life?

Exercises that target pelvic floor muscles are to be done.To find your pelvic floor muscles, stop urinating in midstream or tighten the muscles that keep you from passing gas. Both actions use your pelvic floor muscles. Once you've identified your pelvic floor muscles, you can exercise them in any position. However, you might find it easier to do them lying down at first. Tighten your pelvic floor muscles, hold for three seconds and then relax for three seconds. Try it a few times in a row. When your muscles get stronger, try doing Kegel exercises while sitting, standing or walking. For best results, focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscles. Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Avoid holding your breath. Instead, breathe freely during the exercises. Repeat three times a day. Aim to do at least three sets of 10 repetitions a day.

I'm 20 and my periods have always been regular, but this month it's already 7 days late, which is unusual for me. I've never had sex, though my boyfriend and I are sexually active without intercourse. I'm trying to figure out if this could be a hormonal imbalance or something else. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I might do about it?

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and having twins, and I'm 30 years old. I've been dealing with really bad itching and redness on my belly for the past 10 days, and it's especially rough at night because I can't sleep at all. My LFT came back with high levelsAlkaline phosphatase is at 346 IUL, G.P.T. is 105.2 IUL, and another one is 101.4 IUL. I'm taking Udiliv 150 three times a day, but it's not helping. I'm worried about what's causing this and if there's any risk to my babies. What should I do?

Your symptoms and elevated liver enzymes suggest intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a condition that can increase the risk of preterm birth, fetal distress, and stillbirth; consult your obstetrician to discuss the best course of action, which may include switching to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) or adding antihistamines or topical creams to alleviate itching, and closely monitoring fetal well-being and liver function to ensure the health and safety of both you and your twins.
