Uterine Artery Embolization
When menometrorrhagia symptoms are caused by fibroids or noncancerous growths, uterine artery embolization can be a good treatment option. During this process, a catheter will be inserted into your large femoral artery, which is located in the thigh. After that, the doctor will inject plastic microspheres into the blood vessels that supply nutrients for the fibroids. This helps block off these vessels, thus reducing blood flow to the growths. Without nutrients from the blood, these fibroids will reduce in size, detach and then pass out via the vagina. [13]
