March is Women’s History Month—a time to recognize the strength, resilience, and health of women at every stage of life. It’s also an opportunity to shine a light on conditions that disproportionately affect women and the modern, minimally invasive solutions available today.
One such condition is uterine fibroids, which affect millions of women and can significantly impact quality of life. The good news? Surgery isn’t the only option.
Why Women’s Health Innovation Matters
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that can cause heavy periods, pelvic pain, bloating, frequent urination, and fatigue. Too often, women are told that hysterectomy is their only solution. Today, advanced treatments like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) offer effective relief—without major surgery and while preserving the uterus.
Signs You May Be Experiencing Fibroids
Fibroid symptoms can vary and are sometimes dismissed or normalized. Common signs include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain, pressure, or fullness
- Abdominal bloating or enlargement
- Frequent urination or constipation
- Pain during intercourse
- Fatigue or anemia
If these symptoms sound familiar, it may be time to explore your options.
What Is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?
UFE is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that shrinks fibroids by blocking their blood supply. During the procedure, Dr. Sclafani uses advanced imaging to precisely target the fibroids—relieving symptoms while preserving healthy uterine tissue.
Benefits of UFE include:
- No hysterectomy
- No large incisions
- Shorter recovery time
- Proven symptom relief for most women

At Ayur Interventional & Vascular Care, we believe women deserve options—care that listens, respects, and empowers. UFE is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return to their normal activities much sooner than with traditional surgery.
