Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a safe and effective non-surgical procedure that eliminates fibroids permanently. Many women are only made aware of surgical options for fibroid treatment by their OB/GYN, but myomectomy and hysterectomy can be avoided!
The recovery from UFE is much less painful and substantially shorter than after having a hysterectomy. Relief from symptoms can begin as soon as one month after uterine fibroid embolization. When the growths are eliminated, the symptoms subside, and you gain a better quality of life.
