Do I need Fibroids Surgery?
Not everyone with fibroids needs surgery. It depends on your symptoms, the size and location of the fibroids and your future pregnancy plans.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization - Non-Surgical Treatment
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for fibroids while preserving the uterus. Instead of removing the fibroids, UFE blocks the blood supply to them, causing them to shrink over time and reducing symptoms like heavy bleeding, pelvic pain and pressure.
Signs that you may need fibroids surgery
Common signs include:
- Severe or persistent heavy menstrual bleeding that leads to anemia
- Chronic pelvic pain or pressure affecting daily activities
- Very large fibroids causing visible abdominal enlargement
- Frequent urination or constipation due to pressure on nearby organs
- Difficulty conceiving or recurrent pregnancy complications linked to fibroids
- Rapid fibroid growth or worsening symptoms over time
- Symptoms that do not respond to medication
