As below

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

Have your cycles always been normal and is this an aberration?
Can you please upload the ultrasound scan report showing the fibroid?
Apart from the size, I need few more details such as location and type of fibroid?

A 2cm fibroid is very less likely to cause such bleeding.
This could be Peri menopausal hormonal imbalance.

Elaborate about fibrisol please, do you mean Fibristal?
Please get a pap smear done.

You may take Tranexamic acid (prescription based medication) to reduce the blood flow and then hormonal progesterone pills every month to regulate your periods.

However, I need more details to guide you in more detail.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Take care

I don't have the ultra sound so I don't know where the fibroid is. Yes I meat fibristol I am on the 2nd month of it. I started in September. My periods have been irregular for some time now. I began to notice it after my surgery to remove a very large fibroid in 2012. . had a pap smear done it was normal.
