Women looking for a new treatment for fibroids without surgery may be interested in minimally invasive options that can treat symptomatic uterine fibroids without removing the uterus. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is an established, minimally invasive procedure that can provide an alternative to traditional surgical treatments for many women.

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that may cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, abdominal pain, bloating, frequent urination, constipation, and lower back discomfort. When these symptoms interfere with daily activities, seeking an evaluation from a fibroid specialist can help determine which treatment may be appropriate.

At USA Fibroid Centers, UFE is performed by experienced interventional radiologists. During the procedure, the specialist uses image guidance to access the blood vessels supplying the fibroids and places tiny particles into those vessels. This reduces blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink over time while preserving the uterus.

UFE is generally performed without traditional open surgery and can offer a shorter recovery compared with major surgical procedures. However, UFE is not appropriate for every patient, and treatment recommendations depend on factors such as fibroid size, location, symptoms, medical history, and individual goals.

USA Fibroid Centers provides personalized evaluations to help women understand their options for fibroid treatment without surgery. If you are experiencing persistent fibroid symptoms, a consultation can help determine whether UFE or another treatment approach may be suitable for your condition and needs.
