What is Uterine Fibroid Embolization?
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that helps women find lasting relief from the discomfort and inconvenience caused by uterine fibroids. This FDA-approved treatment involves injecting small particles into the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids, effectively cutting off their nutrient supply and causing them to shrink and eventually die.
It’s typically an outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort, and a bandaid. The patient can return to work within a week!

Why Choose UFE Over Traditional Surgery?
Minimally invasive
UFE requires only a small incision, leading to less scarring and a faster recovery.
Office Based Procedure
Most patients return home the same day as the procedure.
Less risk of complications
UFE has a lower risk of infection and other complications compared to traditional surgery.
Preservation of uterus
UFE allows women to maintain their uterus, preserving their ability to conceive in the future.
