USA Fibroid Centers was recently cited as a leading source in VeryWell Health article as a trusted source of medical insight on fibroid degeneration, a condition that can occur when uterine fibroids outgrow their blood supply.
In the article, expert insight from USA Fibroid Centers explained that fibroid degeneration, also known as fibroid ischemia, can result in severe abdominal or pelvic pain, fever, heavy bleeding, or pressure in the lower abdomen. Pain may last from a few days to a few weeks. Degeneration is most likely when fibroids grow too large or, in the case of pregnancy, when uterine changes affect blood circulation to the fibroid.
The feature not only highlights the complex nature of diagnosing and managing degenerating fibroids but also underscores USA Fibroid Centers’ role as a national leader in non-surgical fibroid treatment. With over 40 outpatient locations nationwide, our highly skilled interventional radiologists specialize in uterine fibroid embolization (UFE)—a minimally invasive procedure designed to shrink fibroids, relieve symptoms, and preserve the uterus.
