Hi,

Bleeding from a fibroid occurs as the surface area of the uterus is increased so bleeding is more. Uterine artery embolization will reduce the blood supply of the uterus, it may reduce the bleeding that you have and it may reduce the size of the fibroid as well. After stopping Primolut N the bleeding will be more but will stop soon. You may add Transxenamic acid 500 mgm for 5 days, to reduce the bleeding. If you are 40 + consider removing the uterus, it is safe.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaydeep Nanda, General & Family Physician
