Uterine Fibroids What are Fibroids? Understanding Fibroid Symptoms
Uterine fibroids are one of the most common health conditions affecting women and a leading reason many seek treatment for heavy bleeding and pelvic pain. Fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus and can cause a variety of symptoms, including heavy or prolonged periods, pelvic pressure, frequent urination, constipation, pain during intercourse, infertility, and chronic pelvic discomfort. For many women, fibroids can interfere with work, daily activities, and overall quality of life.
Fibroids can vary greatly in size — from smaller than a fingernail to as large as a cantaloupe — and many women develop multiple fibroids at the same time. While some women experience no symptoms, others struggle with severe bleeding, fatigue, anemia, or pelvic pain that leads them to seek medical care.
Also known as leiomyomas or myomas, uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female reproductive system and affect up to 80% of women during their lifetime.

Other Women’s Health Conditions We Treat
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS)
Some women who experience chronic pelvic pain, pelvic pressure, or discomfort that worsens throughout the day may actually be suffering from Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) rather than fibroids. PCS occurs when veins in the pelvis become enlarged and congested, similar to varicose veins, leading to ongoing pelvic pain and pressure.
Studies indicate that 30% of women with chronic pelvic pain have PCS as the sole cause, with an additional 15% having it in combination with other issues.
Symptoms of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome may include:
- Chronic pelvic pain lasting more than six months
- Pelvic pressure or heaviness
- Pain that worsens after standing for long periods
- Pain during or after intercourse
- Visible varicose veins in the pelvic or upper thigh area
Because these symptoms can overlap with other conditions, PCS is often underdiagnosed or mistaken for other pelvic disorders.
How Pelvic Congestion Embolization Works
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome can often be treated with a minimally invasive procedure called pelvic vein embolization. During this treatment, a small catheter is guided through a vein using advanced imaging technology. Tiny coils or medical agents are then used to close off the abnormal veins that are causing congestion.
Once the problematic veins are sealed, blood is naturally redirected to healthy veins, helping reduce pressure and relieve pelvic pain. The procedure is performed through a tiny puncture in the skin and does not require major surgery or a long recovery period.
Who May Be a Candidate for Pelvic Congestion Embolization?
- Chronic pelvic pain that has lasted longer than six months
- Pelvic pain that worsens when standing or at the end of the day
- Pain during or after intercourse
- Pelvic pressure that does not improve with other treatments
- Symptoms that have not been explained by other gynecologic conditions
