Overview
Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat uterine fibroids effectively and safely. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating, and other disruptive symptoms. UFE offers a proven alternative to surgical interventions like hysterectomy, allowing women to preserve their uterus and recover quickly.
Why Choose UFE?
Uterine Fibroid Embolisation is a preferred choice for women seeking a non-surgical solution. Key benefits include:
- Next-Day Discharge: Most patients can return home the day after the procedure.
- Resume Daily Activities Quickly: Many women can resume normal routines within a week.
- No Scars or Stitches: The procedure is performed through a tiny incision, leaving no visible marks.
- No Complex Anesthesia: UFE is done under local anesthesia with sedation, avoiding the risks of general anesthesia.
- Minimally Invasive: Performed through a small incision, UFE avoids major surgery.
- Preservation of the Uterus: UFE retains your uterus, making it ideal for women who want to avoid hysterectomy.
- Effective Symptom Relief: UFE significantly reduces heavy bleeding, pain, and other symptoms caused by fibroids.
- High Success Rate: Most women experience long-term relief and improved quality of life after UFE.
Who Can Benefit from UFE?
UFE is suitable for most women experiencing fibroid symptoms. It is particularly beneficial for those who:
- Want to avoid surgery.
- Are not planning to conceive in the future.
- Are seeking a shorter recovery time.
- Have fibroids causing significant symptoms like heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or bladder issues.
