Is early menstruation a symptom of uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

My period started two to three days earlier this month as well. It's already the seventh day, but it hasn't stopped yet. Previously, it usually stopped within 7 to 8 days. I don't have any cramps or discomfort, but this month, the flow is slightly less than usual. The first two days had some black blood, but then it returned to normal. Hello, could it be that I have uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, a menstrual period being 7 days earlier or later is normal, and it is also normal for the period to end within 7 days. You should be fine. If you're not sure, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the condition of the endometrium. For patients with uterine fibroids, the daily treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications and supplement with vitamins, while also paying attention to regular routines and avoiding alcohol. We hope that uterine fibroid patients can recover quickly.
