Heavy Periods, Pelvic Pain, or Bloating? It Could Be Uterine Fibroids

By Dr. Deepak Agarwal, AEIRC Advanced Endovascular & Interventional Radiology Center, Jaipur

Many women live with heavy periods, persistent pelvic discomfort, and abdominal bloating, thinking it's just part of being a woman. However, these symptoms are not normal and could be signs of a treatable condition called uterine fibroids. If you've been experiencing these symptoms regularly, it's important to get evaluated and explore your options for safe, effective treatment.

As an interventional radiologist offering advanced Uterine Fibroids Treatment in Jaipur, I, Dr. Deepak Agarwal, help women take control of their reproductive health using modern, non-surgical techniques that offer long-term relief.

? What Are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop within or on the walls of the uterus. They vary in size from as small as a seed to as large as a grapefruit and can occur in different locations:

• Intramural fibroids within the uterine muscle

• Subserosal fibroids on the outer wall of the uterus

• Submucosal fibroids under the uterine lining

• Pedunculated fibroids attached by a stalk

While not all fibroids cause symptoms, many women experience significant discomfort that affects their daily life.

?? Common Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding

• Severe menstrual cramps

• Pelvic pain or pressure

• Bloating or a sensation of fullness in the lower abdomen

• Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder

• Constipation

• Pain during intercourse

• Difficulty conceiving or complications during pregnancy

If these symptoms are persistent, they may indicate the presence of fibroids and should be investigated through proper imaging and diagnosis.

? Causes and Risk Factors

Although the exact cause of uterine fibroids remains unclear, certain factors may increase the risk:

• Hormonal imbalances (especially high estrogen)

• Family history of fibroids

• Obesity

• Early onset of menstruation

• Vitamin D deficiency

• Diet high in red meat and low in green vegetables

Fibroids tend to grow during reproductive years and may shrink after menopause due to reduced hormone levels.

? Diagnosis at AEIRC

At AEIRC, we use the following diagnostic tools to confirm and evaluate fibroids:

• Pelvic Ultrasound First-line imaging to detect fibroids

• MRI Provides detailed information about size, number, and exact location

• Pelvic Examination Helps identify enlarged uterus or irregularities

• Blood Tests To check for anemia due to heavy bleeding

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation for choosing the right Uterine Fibroids Treatment in Jaipur.

?? Modern Treatment: Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)

Many women assume surgery is the only solution for fibroids, but today, there are minimally invasive alternatives that are equally effective and far less disruptive to your life.

At AEIRC, I specialize in Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) a non-surgical procedure that targets fibroids by cutting off their blood supply.

? How UAE Works:

• A small catheter is inserted through the groin or wrist

• Using X-ray guidance, particles are delivered into the arteries supplying the fibroids

• Blood flow is blocked, causing the fibroids to shrink naturally over time

• The uterus remains intact

Most women notice symptom relief within weeks and can return to routine activities within a few days.

? Benefits of UAE at AEIRC

• No general anesthesia

• No stitches or surgical scars

• Uterus-sparing

• Same-day or next-day discharge

• High success rate (up to 90% symptom relief)
