Uterine fibroid embolization or UFE is a minimally invasive treatment for fibroids. This procedure is a safe, effective alternative to surgery that allows women with fibroids to feel better without having their uterus removed. A uterine fibroid treatment is quick and relatively straightforward. Before UFE treatment, your doctor will walk you through the entire procedure and answer all questions regarding treatment, risks, benefits, and recovery. We want you to feel as informed and comfortable as possible.
