Periods can get delayed by any number of days, from 30 days to 6 weeks. If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle. Any delay more than it is considered abnormal.

I'm really worried because I found this hard lump near my pwerta and it's super painful, especially when I'm walking, lying down, or sitting. Could you tell me what this is and what might be causing it?

I had diarrhea on September 2nd and took a 4mg Imodium tablet at night. Since yesterday, my bowel movements have completely stopped. I'm also experiencing burning and itching in my vaginal area, and there's a thick white discharge. Could this be related to the diarrhea or the Imodium tablet? Are there any OTC medicines or creams I could try for this?

I've been having heavy bleeding every 20 days with 2 days of spotting and 7 days of continuous bleeding, along with pain near the vagina. My sonography showed an endometrium thickness of 1.8 cm, an endometrium polyp of 1.2x1.0 cm, and uterus measurements of 8.0x5.7x4.7 cm. The doctor suggested removing my uterus is that really necessary? Can this be treated without surgery, and what are the other options? If surgery is the only way, what are the newer techniques available, their costs, and which one has minimal side effects?

cost depends on dr and hospital.
