The continued growth of fibroids can cause worsening pelvic pain and discomfort. 2. Bleeding during your menstrual cycle can worsen, leading to anemia (low blood levels) which could possibly require a blood transfusion and cause severe fatigue. 3. If a fibroid blocks the uterine cavity, it could require emergency surgery. 4. If a fibroid presses on the bladder, it could cause urine to back up into the kidneys, eventually leading to urinary tract infections and requiring a tube to drain the kidney A Treatment for Uterine Fibroids You Need to Know About UTERINE FIBROID EMBOLIZATION TREATMENT –UFE To schedule a free screening at a VidaVascular, Call us today! 866-800-2346 Visit Us at: https://www.vidavascular.com/fibroid-center/
