Sumario: | Uterine fibroid causes heavy menstrual bleeding and can be difficult to manage particularly in patients with complicated medical history. We present a woman with Eisenmenger syndrome, who presented with heavy menses due to fibroid uterus. She was advised against having hormonal therapy or major surgery under general anesthesia. We successfully controlled her heavy menses and avoided surgery using high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation of her fibroid. |
