Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) blocks blood flow to uterine fibroids; this safe and minimally invasive vascular procedure has shown high effectiveness, significantly reducing symptoms.
What are Fibroids?
Fibroids, also known as uterine fibroids or leiomyomas, are noncancerous growths that develop in the uterus. They are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue and can vary in size from small, pea-sized lumps to large masses that can distort the shape of the uterus. Fibroids are a common condition in women of reproductive age and can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on the bladder or bowel.
What to Expect from UFE
- Lower risk of complications
- Quick recovery time
- No hospital stay
- Less invasive than surgery
