There are risks associated with uterine fibroid embolization which include but are not limited to: reduced blood flow to the leg, allergic drug reactions, infection, uterine ischemia (a decreasing or ineffective blood supply to the uterus), or uteroenteric fistula (an abnormal connection between ureter and gastrointestinal tract), amenorrhea(absence of menstruation) following the procedure, premature menopause, infection of the endometrium or other structures in the pelvis, which, if severe, could require a hysterectomy, and rupture of the uterus.

Be sure to talk with your doctor so that you thoroughly understand all of the risks and benefits associated with the treatment of uterine fibroids.
