Fibroid Treatment

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in the uterus, often causing heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and fertility issues. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that offers a safe and effective alternative to surgery.

Performed by an interventional radiologist, UFE involves inserting a small catheter into the uterine arteries and injecting tiny embolic particles to block blood flow to the fibroids. This causes the fibroids to shrink and symptoms to resolve over time. Unlike hysterectomy or myomectomy, UFE preserves the uterus, making it a preferred option for women who wish to maintain fertility.

With a high success rate and minimal downtime, UFE provides long-term relief from fibroid symptoms without major surgery. If you are experiencing fibroid-related discomfort, consult an interventional radiologist to determine if UFE is the right treatment for you.
