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.

My 40-year-old mom has three kids and was diagnosed with fibroids. The doctor says it's nothing to worry about right now, but we're still concerned. Can fibroids shrink with medication, or is surgery the only option? We'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

Fibroids may shrink with medication, but if they cause significant symptoms or complications, surgery may become necessary. A second opinion from a gynecologist could help clarify the best course of action.

I've been having really bad stomach pain in my lower right side and my reports show minimal free fluid in the pelvis plus a cyst in my right ovary with hyperdense content. How serious is this and do I need surgery for it?

The combination of lower right abdominal pain, minimal free fluid in the pelvis, and a hyperdense ovarian cyst can be concerning and may warrant further investigation. While many ovarian cysts are benign and resolve on their own, the hyperdense content suggests a potential need for a closer look. The severity of your condition and the need for surgery will depend on the size, type, and other characteristics of the cyst, as well as your individual symptoms and overall health.
