Hello,
Fibroids itself may cause vaginal bleeding and lead to anaemia. As an emergency indication risks outweigh benefits she may be taken for surgery.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
