EMBOLIZATION: Get a second opinion from an OB/Gyn and a consult from an Interventional Radiology doctor, bring your films and ask opinion if you are a candidate for EMBOLIZATION of the fibroids, this is safer and easier to tolerate☝️.

Fibroid bleeding: Fibroid growths in the uterus can cause bright red bleeding that can drop your blood level to anemia very quickly. If the fibroid is under the lining of the womb, it can be removed with a hysteroscope through the vagina. If it is in the walls of the uterus, it may require another approach to removal. Check with and discuss this with your GYN MD who is treating you.
