Uterine Fibroid Embolization
The interventional radiologist performs UFE through a procedure that cuts off blood supply to fibroids. The reduction of blood flow to fibroids leads to their shrinkage which results in the improvement of symptoms. The recovery process after uterine fibroid embolization becomes faster and less painful because this procedure avoids the need for major surgical incisions which traditional surgeries like hysterectomy or myomectomy require. The majority of women can leave the hospital immediately after treatment and resume their normal activities within one to two weeks.
