Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive, FDA-approved, outpatient procedure that treats uterine fibroids and can alleviate your fibroid symptoms. There is no hospitalization, stitches, or scarring involved. UFE treatment is a revolutionary option for women who suffer from fibroids but don’t want to undergo major surgery with a long recovery time. It also offers alternatives over a hysterectomy for women who wish to get pregnant in the future. After UFE, your fibroids will shrink, and your most brutal symptoms — from heavy menstruation to chronic abdominal pain — can disappear.
