    "abstract": "A woman in her 20s with no past medical history presented to the emergency department with a 4-day history of abdominal pain.\u00a0Imaging revealed several large uterine fibroids that compressed various intra-abdominal structures. Options of observation, medical management, surgical management with abdominal myomectomy, and uterine artery embolization (UAE) were discussed. The patient was counseled about the associated risks of UAE and myomectomy. Since both procedures have a risk of infertility, the patient elected to proceed with uterine artery embolization due to the less invasive nature of the procedure. She was discharged after one day in the hospital\u00a0following the procedure and readmitted three days later for suspected endometritis. The patient was treated with antibiotics for five days and discharged home. Eleven months post-procedure, the patient became pregnant. The patient had achieved a full-term delivery at 39 weeks and two days via a cesarean section secondary to a breech presentation.",
