Is a procedure available to relieve excessive bleeding caused by fibroids?
Yes. Uterine fibroids are very common, although often they are very small and cause no problems. For some women, however, the fibroids are of a significant size that they can cause excessive bleeding and pain. A procedure called Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) successfully eliminates or dramatically shrinks these benign growths. UAE is a simple and safe procedure that essentially stops the blood flow to the fibroid. Find out more about Uterine Artery Embolization. For more information, call 610-954-4805.
