What is uterine fibroid embolization?

uterine fibroid embolization effectiveness

A safe and minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids.

80-90% of patients report significant relief from their symptoms 3 months after uterine fibroid embolization.

How it works

A small incision is made in your thigh or wrist.

Uterine fibroid embolization is sometimes called a “bandage procedure” because, instead of the large abdominal incisions that need to be made for other procedures, a small incision is all you need–small enough to be covered with a bandage.

Small beads are injected into the fibroid to stop blood flow.

Tiny beads are injected through this catheter and into the arteries supplying blood to the fibroids, blocking their blood flow. The catheter is then removed.

Fibroids shrink within 3 months, eliminating symptoms.

After the blood flow is cut off, the fibroids begin to shrink down, with 80-90% of women reporting a significant decrease in their symptoms after 3 months. Uterine fibroid embolization has a quick recovery time, with most women returning to work 3-5 days after the procedure.
