Periods are dependant on hormones and every month period date may change slightly based on the hormone variations. For this reason, if next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle.

How are ovarian fibroids treated?

The treatment plan for fibroids will depend on how the symptoms are affecting your daily life, and your body's ability to function normally, or whether you plan to have children. Your gynaecologist may adopt a watch-and-wait approach to see if medication can relieve your symptoms.If you are planning to conceive, medication may be prescribed to help shrink the fibroids or a procedure known as myomectomy may be recommended to remove them.
