Fibroids | Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE/UAE)

Our physicians specialize in providing consultations, diagnosing, and treating Fibroids, and offer Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) with advanced treatments tailored to our patients' needs.

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE/UAE) is a is a safe and effective one-hour minimally-invasive procedure that is a less invasive alternative to hysterectomy or myomectomy. This procedure, involves cutting off the blood supply to the fibroid tumors, causing them to shrink and leading to a quicker recovery.

The benefits of uterine fibroid embolization are numerous and include:

FDA-approved treatment
No scarring
Safer than traditional surgery
Minimally invasive
No hospital stay required
Quick return to work and daily activities, typically within a week
Preservation of the uterus
Few complications or risks
Reduction in heavy menstrual bleeding
Alleviation of uterine and menstrual pain
Reduction or elimination of other fibroid-related symptoms

Fibroid embolization is a non-surgical and straightforward procedure that effectively alleviates symptoms caused by fibroids in many women. Unlike hysterectomy surgery, which involves significant risks, general anesthesia, incisions, prolonged hospital stays, and extended recovery times, embolization is outpatient, takes about half an hour, and requires no general anesthesia. It preserves fertility and provides immediate relief from painful symptoms by reducing blood supply to fibroids.
