Fibroids and Anaemia

Fibroids are benign growths in the uterus that can cause heavy, prolonged, or irregular menstrual bleeding. Over time, this excessive blood loss may deplete iron stores in the body and lead to iron‑deficiency anaemia. Symptoms of anaemia can include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and feeling cold. Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the blood supply to specific fibroids, causing them to shrink and reducing bleeding. By addressing the source of heavy menstrual loss, UFE can help improve anaemia and enhance overall wellbeing. For more information, please visit our website.
