Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) offers a minimally invasive approach to treating uterine fibroids, providing a safe and highly effective alternative to major surgical procedures like hysterectomy and myomectomy.

Approximately 90-95% of women who opt for UFE witness substantial improvements in their fibroid symptoms. Notably, for those who aspire to start a family in the future, and have been told that they need a hysterectomy, UFE presents a low-risk pathway to relief, eliminating the need for invasive surgery while preserving fertility.
