If you suffer from uterine fibroids, you’re not alone. These non-cancerous growths can cause a range of symptoms, from heavy bleeding, enlarged abdomen and pelvic pain to painful sexual intercourse and infertility. Traditionally, women with fibroids have had to choose between hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) or myomectomy (removal of fibroids). But now, there’s a less invasive option: Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE).
What is UFE?
UFE is a non-surgical, clinically proven minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. The procedure that blocks the blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink and the symptoms to subside. The procedure is performed with no incisions through the radial artery in your wrist, with minimal downtime and no need for a general anesthetic.
Why UFE is the Better Choice
- Fewer Risks – UFE has a lower risk of complications like infection or excessive bleeding compared to traditional surgeries.
- Minimally Invasive – UFE requires only a tiny incision, meaning no scars and a faster recovery.
- Preserves Your Uterus – Unlike a hysterectomy, UFE leaves the uterus intact, making it an ideal choice for women who want to preserve their fertility.
- Quick Recovery – Most women return to normal activities within 5-10 days, compared to 6-8 weeks after surgery.
Is UFE Right for You?
If you’re looking for an effective, minimally invasive solution to your fibroid symptoms, UFE may be the right choice for you. It’s particularly ideal for women who want to avoid the risks of major surgery but still seek relief from fibroid-related issues.
