“Take Control of Your Fibroid Bleeding and Pain — Relief Starts Here.”
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a safe, minimally invasive treatment that helps women reclaim their lives without surgery.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that affect millions of women. While common, they can disrupt daily life by causing:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pressure or pain
- Frequent urination or constipation
- Fatigue from anemia
If these symptoms sound familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to live with them.
Why Treat Them?
Fibroids can interfere with your health, your comfort, and your confidence. Left untreated, they can lead to anemia, chronic fatigue, and difficulty with fertility or pregnancy. The good news? There’s a treatment option that avoids major surgery and helps you get back to feeling like yourself again.
What Is UFE?
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional radiologist. Using advanced imaging, a small catheter is guided into the uterine arteries, where tiny particles are injected to block blood flow to the fibroids. Without their blood supply, fibroids shrink, and symptoms improve.
Why women choose UFE:
- Outpatient procedure — no hospital stay required
- Faster recovery compared to surgery
- Preserves your uterus
- Effective symptom relief for most patients
How Does UFE Work?
Here’s what the process looks like:
- Consultation: We review your medical history, symptoms, and imaging.
- Procedure: Performed under light sedation, using only a small incision.
- Recovery: Most women return to normal activities within a week.
- Results: Fibroids gradually shrink, and symptoms improve over time.
UFE vs. Surgery
| UFE | Hysterectomy/Myomectomy | |
|---|---|---|
| Hospital Stay | Outpatient, home same day | Several days inpatient |
| Recovery | About 1 week | 4–6 weeks |
| Uterus Preservation | Yes | No (hysterectomy) |
| Effectiveness | High symptom relief | High, but more invasive |
With UFE, you get the relief you need without the risks and downtime of surgery.
