Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

You’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it.

  • Heavy or prolonged periods
  • Bloating or a feeling of fullness in your abdomen
  • Pelvic pressure or discomfort
  • Frequent urination
  • Fatigue or low energy

If you’ve been told this is “normal,” it may be worth taking a closer look.

What Could be Causing Your Symptoms?

For many women, these symptoms are caused by uterine fibroids: non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus.

They’re more common than most people realize, especially in women in their 30s and 40s. And while they’re not dangerous, they can significantly impact your quality of life.

Managing Uterine Fibroid Symptoms

If fibroids are the cause, treatment doesn’t have to mean jumping straight to surgery. Depending on your situation, options may include:

Monitoring symptoms over time

Medications to manage symptoms

Surgical procedures like hysterectomy

Minimally invasive treatments

Understanding your options is the first step toward making the right decision for you.

A Less Invasive Option for Fibroid Treatment

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure performed by interventional radiology specialists.

It works by blocking blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink over time.

For many women, this means:

  • No major surgery
  • Shorter recovery time
  • Relief from symptoms
  • Preservation of the uterus

It’s not the right fit for everyone, but it’s an option many women don’t realize they have.

What About Risks?

Every treatment comes with considerations. Most women tolerate UFE well, but like any procedure, there are potential side effects and risks. You can read more in our blog.
