Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)
About the Procedure
Uterine Fibroid Embolization is a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for treating symptomatic uterine fibroids. Tiny particles are injected into arteries supplying the fibroids, blocking blood flow and causing them to shrink over time. UFE relieves heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure while preserving the uterus. Recovery is typically faster than traditional surgery, with minimal scarring and shorter hospital stay.
