How can fibroids affect sexual intercourse? What changes after a Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?

 

Fibroids can make sexual intercourse increasingly painful or unappealing, and most women see an improvement after ufe. Dr. Slonim, M.D., explains further.

“Usually they don’t unless there’s an unfortunately positioned fibroid that can cause pain during intercourse. That’s not uncommon actually and I do tell my patients to refrain from having sexual intercourse for two weeks after the procedure, just because there’s going to be inflammation and it’s more likely to be painful, but two weeks will be enough.”
