There is often confusion between Fibroids vs Endometriosis. This misunderstanding has merit considering both conditions involve the uterus and both cause pelvic pain. However, their causes and treatments are different.

Fibroids are most commonly identified as non-cancerous growths or tumours inside the uterus during childbearing years which may or may not be painful. Endometriosis is a painful disorder in which tissue grows outside your uterus, on your ovaries, bowel, and the tissues lining your pelvis.

Both Uterine Fibroids and Endometriosis hardly ever develop into cancer and are never associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer.

Fibroid Care specializes in fibroid treatment through uterine fibroids embolization (UFE) also known as uterine artery embolization (UAE).
