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.

Found a cystic structure in my left adnexa and the report says it might be mild hydrosalpinx. Is there any way to treat this without going through surgery? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my health

Yes, there are options to manage mild hydrosalpinx without surgery. Sclerotherapy, which uses an ultrasound-guided needle to drain fluid and inject a chemical to prevent refill, is a potential alternative. Additionally, watchful waiting with follow-up ultrasounds may be an option if the cyst is small and not causing symptoms. surgical treatment to unblock the tube doesn't restore fertility, in vitro fertilization (IVF) can bypass the need for the fallopian tube.

I'm trying to figure out the right time for some tests after my period. How many days should I wait for my blood and urine tests to give accurate results? Also, do you think it's necessary to have a physical examination of the vagina to check for a fungal infection? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.

For accurate blood and urine tests, it's ideal to wait at least 5-7 days after your period ends, as hormone levels and other factors can fluctuate during menstruation. Regarding fungal infections, a physical examination of the vagina is often required to accurately diagnose and treat the condition, as visual inspection and sometimes a swab are necessary for confirmation.
