Uterine Fibroid Embolization for Large Fibroids: Benefits and Recovery

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive treatment that may be an option for women with large or multiple uterine fibroids. During UFE, an interventional radiologist guides a small catheter into the blood vessels supplying the fibroids and injects tiny particles to reduce their blood flow. Over time, the fibroids can shrink, helping relieve symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, abdominal discomfort, and frequent urination. The suitability of UFE depends on factors including fibroid size, location, symptoms, and overall health. USA Fibroid Centers offers specialized fibroid evaluation and minimally invasive treatment options for women with symptomatic fibroids.
