If you’ve been struggling with heavy periods, pelvic pain, or bloating, you’re not alone—and you may not need surgery to find relief from uterine fibroids.
One of the most effective, minimally invasive treatments available today is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE).
What Is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?
UFE is a non-surgical, image-guided procedure that works by targeting the blood supply feeding uterine fibroids. By blocking these vessels, UFE causes fibroids to shrink over time—relieving symptoms without the need for a hysterectomy or other invasive surgeries.
The procedure is typically performed by an interventional radiologist who makes a small incision in the wrist or groin. It typically requires only light sedation and has a short recovery time.
Why Choose UFE Over Surgery?
Many women are told surgery is the only option for fibroid relief, but UFE offers compelling advantages:
- Minimally invasive — No large incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia
- Preserves the uterus— Ideal for women who wish to avoid hysterectomy
- Quick recovery —Most patients return to normal activities within a week
- Highly effective— Over 90% of women experience significant symptom relief
Common Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids vary in size and location, and their symptoms can range from mild to severe. Common symptoms include:
- Heavy or prolonged periods
- Pelvic pressure or pain
- Bloating or a feeling of fullness
- Frequent urination
- Pain during intercourse
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to explore your options.
Is UFE Right for You?
UFE is a safe, proven alternative for women who are not ready or willing to undergo surgery.
It’s especially beneficial for those who:
- Want to avoid general anesthesia or major surgery
- Need a faster recovery and return to daily life
- Prefer an option that preserves the uterus
