Fibroid sloughing occurs when a uterine fibroid breaks down and the body gradually sheds or expels the affected tissue. It may happen naturally or following treatments such as uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), which reduces blood flow to the fibroid and causes it to shrink. Symptoms can include pelvic cramping, vaginal discharge, bleeding, or passage of tissue. While some symptoms may be part of the healing process, heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, or foul-smelling discharge should be evaluated promptly.  USA Fibroid Centers provides minimally invasive treatment options and expert care for women with uterine fibroids.
