Many women believe that surgery is the only way to treat uterine fibroids—but that is not always the case.
If you’ve been diagnosed with fibroids or are experiencing heavy periods, pelvic pressure, bloating, or frequent urination, you may have treatment options that do not involve a hysterectomy.
A Minimally Invasive Alternative
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an Interventional Radiologist. Rather than removing the uterus, UFE works by blocking the blood supply that feeds the fibroids, causing them to shrink over time.
Because there are no large surgical incisions, many patients experience:
- Relief from heavy menstrual bleeding.
- Reduced pelvic pain and pressure.
- Improvement in bloating and urinary symptoms.
- A shorter recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Is UFE Right for You?
Every patient’s situation is unique. The best treatment depends on the size, number, and location of your fibroids, your symptoms, and your personal goals.
If fibroid symptoms are affecting your daily life, a consultation with an Interventional Radiologist can help you understand whether UFE may be an appropriate option.
