Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

A gentle way to treat fibroids without surgery

What Are Fibroids?

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the womb (uterus). Many women have them, but sometimes they cause problems like:

Heavy or long periods

Pain or pressure in the lower belly

Needing to pee often

Pain during intimacy

A swollen or bloated tummy

Fibroids are not life-threatening, but they can make daily life difficult.

What is UFE?

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a non-surgical treatment for fibroids. Instead of removing the womb, UFE:

Blocks the blood supply to fibroids

Makes them shrink naturally

Helps improve bleeding, pain, and pressure symptoms

👉 It’s a safe option for women who want to avoid surgery and keep their womb.

How is UFE Done?

A small cut is made in the groin or wrist (no big scars).

A thin tube is guided to the blood vessels of the womb.

Tiny particles are injected to block the blood flow to fibroids.

Over time, the fibroids shrink and symptoms get better.

🕒 The procedure takes about 1–2 hours.
💤 Done with local anesthesia and light sedation – you’re relaxed and comfortable.
