Patient's question:
I have recently noticed that my menstruation often occurs earlier. I checked it and found that it is uterine fibroids. Do uterine fibroids cause menstruation to come earlier?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can also affect menstrual irregularities and excessive menstrual flow. Menstruation may also come earlier. Menstrual irregularities are mainly related to the location and size of the fibroids. A gynecological ultrasound examination should be performed to confirm the location of the fibroids. It is normal for menstruation to be one week earlier or later than usual. If the fibroids are currently causing the menstruation to come earlier, it is important to wait and see. If the fibroids significantly affect menstruation, surgical treatment for the fibroids may be necessary.
