| This leaflet should answer some of your questions about fibroid embolization. |
| A specially trained doctor called an interventional radiologist will do the fibroid embolization. |
| This blockage causes fibroid muscle cells to degenerate and form scar tissue, which causes fibroids to shrink. |
| One way to treat women with fibroids is called uterine fibroid embolization. |
| This blocks up these small blood vessels so that the fibroid is starved of its blood supply. |
| In the study, researchers used a technique known as microarray analysis to determine the activity levels of genes in fibroid tumors. |
