Summary
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) effectively treated heavy bleeding and pain. However, a rare fistula complication developed later, which resolved with conservative management.
Area of Science:
- Gynecology
- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors causing significant symptoms like menorrhagia and pelvic pain.
- Submucosal fibroids are particularly linked to heavy menstrual bleeding due to their location near the endometrium.
- Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive treatment option for symptomatic fibroids.
