Uterine Fibroid Embolization

Uterine fibroids affect up to 40 percent of women ages 35 and older, causing pain and bleeding. Until recently, the primary treatment with known, long-term success for these women was a hysterectomy.

Uterine fibroid embolization is another much less invasive procedure that has now been shown to have excellent long-term results. Uterine fibroid embolization delivers medicine that shrinks the blood supply directly to the fibroid and offers less risk, less pain and less recovery time.

Women who undergo this procedure are back on their feet within days, rather than the months it might take to recuperate from the surgery of a hysterectomy. It gives women a choice and more control over what happens to their bodies. It's important for symptomatic women to know all their options, so they can make the best choice based on their physician's recommendations.
