Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE)
UFE is a minimally invasive treatment for uterine fibroids. It safely and effectively shrinks fibroids by blocking the blood flow to the fibroids. It is the most effective, nonsurgical, and least invasive way to treat symptoms related to fibroids.
For women with mild to severe symptoms including heavy menstrual bleeding, low energy, bloating, or frequent urination, you may be a candidate for UFE instead of going through a surgical treatment, like a hysterectomy.Benefits of UFE
- Same-day procedure, no overnight stay - no incisions, so it does not cause scarring
- Faster recovery and reduced risk compared to surgery
- Can treat multiple fibroids, of all sizes and locations, at one time
