The physician should be notified if the client is experiencing urinary retention.Urinary frequency is not a complication of UAE.A body temperature of 39° C or higher may indicate the presence of an infectious process,and the physician should be notified.A slight fever or pain may be experienced as a result of acute fibroid degradations.Swelling or hematoma at the puncture site may be an indication of bleeding into the groin.The client should not experience any abnormal vaginal discharge (e.g.,foul odor,brown color,brown tissue).
