Can period be delayed by 10 days?
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 trying to figure out how many days I should rest after getting family planning surgery. Also, are there any specific precautions I need to keep in mind while recovering?

Can you touch your cervix?
Your body position should allow you to easily reach your cervix. That may be sitting on the toilet, putting one leg up on the edge of the bathtub, or squatting. Reach your finger inside of your vagina. Use the index or middle finger and slowly slide your finger in as far as you can reach, in sort of an upward motion.
