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 have a 4.5cm dermoid cyst in my right ovary and my doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery. Are hospitals in Indirapuram or Ghaziabad currently performing these surgeries?
