When it comes to treatment, Hysterectomy isn’t the only option anymore.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a safe, highly effective, minimally invasive vascular procedure that blocks blood flow to the uterine fibroids. This causes the fibroids to shrink or resolve, resulting in a life changing reduction in symptoms.

A minimally invasive vascular procedure is generally recommended to any woman who is symptomatic from her fibroids and who wishes to avoid surgical removal of the fibroids (myomectomy) or removal of the entire uterus (hysterectomy).
