Top Uterine Fibroid Treatment: Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

Uterine fibroids—non cancerous growths in the uterus—have historically been treated through invasive surgical procedures such as hysterectomy or myomectomy. These surgeries, though effective, come with risks, including significant recovery times, potential complications, and impacts on fertility. Many patients have faced limited options when treating uterine fibroids, especially those who wished to preserve their uterus or avoid extensive surgery.

Thankfully, advancements in medical technology have introduced minimally invasive solutions like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). This procedure offers a safer, more effective alternative to surgery with fewer risks and a quicker recovery. At Vein Treatment Clinic, we specialize in UFE and state-of-the-art uterine fibroid treatments to address fibroids and improve your quality of life. Contact us to schedule a consultation and explore your treatment options today.

• No need for major surgery
• Minimal recovery time compared to hysterectomy or myomectomy
• Preserves the uterus and fertility potential
• Performed as an outpatient procedure
• Reduces heavy menstrual bleeding caused by fibroids
• Relieves pelvic pain and pressure symptoms
• Decreases the size of fibroids effectively
• Lower risk of complications than traditional surgery
• Avoids the use of general anesthesia

Recovery from UFE is typically quick and manageable. After the procedure, you’ll rest in a recovery room for a few hours while the sedative wears off. For a few days, you may experience mild cramping, pelvic discomfort, or flu-like symptoms, but these side effects are temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Most patients can return to normal activities within a week, though strenuous exercise or heavy lifting should be avoided for about two weeks. Over the following months, you’ll notice reduced fibroid symptoms as the fibroids shrink and your body adjusts.

• Mild to moderate cramping for a few days
• Low-grade fever or flu-like symptoms
• Nausea or vomiting in the first 24-48 hours
• Pelvic discomfort during initial recovery
• Fatigue lasting a few days to a week
• Light vaginal spotting or discharge for a few weeks
• Temporary changes in menstrual cycle

Take the first step towards a life free from varicose veins.

Uterine fibroid disease is a condition characterized by the growth of benign tumors in the uterus. While some fibroids remain asymptomatic, others can lead to severe symptoms that worsen over time, including heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on surrounding organs. Early treatment can prevent complications and improve your quality of life. Some of the possible consequences of untreated fibroid disease include:

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Severe pelvic pain or cramping
• Pressure on the bladder or bowel
