Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical procedure for the treatment of fibroids and adenomyosis that has been performed successfully for over two decades. It is an effective alternative to surgery and hormonal treatment, and those wishing to avoid a hysterectomy should discuss this option with their doctor.<\/p>\n
The procedure itself is performed by an interventional radiologist who uses real time x-ray imaging to guide the delivery of tiny particles to the uterine artery supplying the fibroids with blood. The procedure involves creating a tiny incision in the artery that is located in the upper thigh or wrist, through which a very thin catheter is inserted and makes its way to the uterine artery. The particles are carefully delivered in order to reduce blood flow to the fibroids, leaving the rest of the uterus untouched. Fibroids shrink gradually over the next weeks and months.<\/p>\n
