Question: Uterine fibroids. Needing information. Warning – description of problem is rather graphic.?
I have two large unterine fibroids. This weekend I experienced what I would equate to hemorraging. I was on a road trip and we stopped so I could go to the bathroom to change. As I was walking to the bathroom to change pads, a large clot passed and blood began running down my legs. I was too humilated to go into the bathroom, so I told my husband we needed to stay in a hotel so I could clean up. The amount of blood was unimaginable. I am currently waiting on my insurance company to approve a surgery MRI guided ultrasound surgery a non invasive procedure- to alleviate the fibroids. What I want to know is whether there are any incidences where women have bleed to death from uterine hemorraging due to fibroids. I am getting ready to write to the CEO of my insurance because as I wait, this situation does not get any better, it only gets worse. I do not want to end up bleeding to death. I have done a google search and have not found anything conclusive about mortality rates related to this

I have never heard myself of someone bleeding to death from fibroids but you can bleed to death through bleeding.
If the fibroids are causing such major bleeding you need help now. Like an emergency D & C. You can die through blood lose. As I gather you would know, so need to stop bleeding like that as soon as possible.
Such long term bleeding can also lead to long term problems like severe anaemia.
Push your insurance company with letters, faxes and phone calls.
Let you Doctor know straight away.
I live in Australia so treatment is free and immediate so I can not say how to help with your hospital treatment in the USA.
But nagging, pestering and getting on their nerves can work wonders some times.
