My mom's ultrasound report shows multiple fibroids in her uterus. Can these be treated with medication or is surgery the only option? Really confused about what to do next and worried about her health

Uterine fibroids can often be managed with medication, especially if symptoms are mild and the fibroids are not causing significant problems. Surgery is also an option, particularly if symptoms are severe or if medication isn't effective. The best approach depends on your mom's individual circumstances, including the size and location of the fibroids, her symptoms, and her desire for future pregnancies

I'm really worried because my engagement is coming up soon and my periods have been starting earlier than usual the past two months. Is there a way I can delay my period for about 34 days so it doesnt interfere with the event? Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
