Treatments

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive treatment designed to shrink uterine fibroids by blocking their blood supply. Using a small catheter inserted through the groin or wrist, tiny particles are delivered into the arteries feeding the fibroids, causing them to shrink and symptoms to improve. UFE is an effective alternative to surgery, offering relief from heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure symptoms, while preserving the uterus and enabling faster recovery.
