Uterine Fibroid Embolization
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that as vascular specialists, we would like to introduce to you as an alternative to traditional surgery for the treatment of uterine fibroids. UFE is a highly effective and safe approach for women who suffer from symptomatic fibroids, which can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and other distressing symptoms.
During UFE, a tiny catheter is inserted into an artery in the groin or wrist and guided to the uterine arteries. Once in place, small particles are injected into these arteries to block the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and alleviate symptoms. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days.
UFE offers several advantages over traditional surgical options such as myomectomy or hysterectomy. It is less invasive, does not involve the removal of the uterus, and has a shorter recovery time with fewer complications. UFE preserves fertility, making it a favorable choice for women who wish to have children in the future.
However, it’s essential to consult with a gynecologist or vascular specialist to determine whether UFE is the right option for you. We can assess your individual situation and discuss the benefits and potential risks associated with the procedure, as well as address any questions or concerns you may have.
UFE has provided relief to countless women, and if you’re struggling with uterine fibroids, it’s worth exploring this less invasive and highly effective treatment option to improve your quality of life and overall well-being. Your health and comfort are our priority.
