I've got a 12cm fibroid in my uterus, and Im really worried about having to go through surgery. Are there any medicines or other treatments out there that could help shrink it instead?

I'm an unmarried girl and for the past 6 months, I've been dealing with my periods being delayed. It's been between 40 to 50 days now. I do everything like yoga and exercise, and my BMI is normal. I'm not sure why this is happening. I work in IT and sometimes have to work more than 9 hours. Could that be the reason? I'm quite confused and would appreciate some insight.

As an unmarried girl experiencing delayed periods (40-50 days) despite a normal BMI, yoga, and exercise, possible causes may include stress, hormonal imbalances, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can be triggered or exacerbated by long working hours (>9 hrs) and an IT profession's sedentary lifestyle.

I've been having some issues with my periods being late by over 15 days sometimes, and lately, I've felt like vomiting, been really hungry, and kind of dizzy. My usual date was April 18, and I'm worried that I might be pregnant. How soon can I check to see if the result is positive or negative? Also, I accidentally drank pineapple Rasna juice before I knew you're not supposed to have pineapple when trying to conceive. Could this cause any problems like a miscarriage if Im actually pregnant? I'm really stressed about it and would appreciate some advice.
