What Are Fibroids?

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, painful periods, bloating, and fertility challenges. Many women live with symptoms for years without knowing they can be treated safely and effectively.

Symptoms Many Women Ignore

Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, Pelvic pain or pressure, Back or leg pain, Enlarged abdomen or bloating, Frequent urination, Pain during intimacy, Difficulty conceiving.

What is Uterine Fibroid Embolization?

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), also known as Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE), is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for uterine fibroids, offering an alternative to traditional surgeries like hysterectomy and myomectomy. This advanced procedure effectively reduces fibroid-related symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure by cutting off the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink over time.

Key Benefits of Uterine Fibroid Embolization:

  • Minimally Invasive – No open surgery, only a small incision.
  • Faster Recovery – Most patients resume normal activities within a few days.
  • Preserves the Uterus – Unlike a hysterectomy, UAE allows women to keep their uterus.
  • High Success Rate – Over 85% of women experience significant symptom relief.
  • Safe & Effective – Performed by expert interventional radiologists using advanced imaging techniques.
