What is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?
Uterine Fibroid Embolization is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure designed to shrink fibroids and relieve symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, and pain. By safely blocking the blood flow that feeds fibroids, UFE allows them to gradually shrink without the need for major surgery or removal of the uterus. Patients return home the same day and experience meaningful symptom improvement with a shorter recovery compared to traditional surgical options.
