Benefits of Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign (non-cancerous) tumors within the female reproductive system. A fibroid starts as a normal muscle cell in the uterus. For unknown reasons, this single cell grows and multiplies into a cluster of cells that form the fibroid. Fibroids are stimulated to grow by estrogen (a hormone produced by the ovaries) and blood flow. During menopause, the fibroid tumor often shrinks as the estrogen level naturally declines.

Uterine fibroid Embolization (UFE) can be described as a non-surgical treatment that treats fibroids. Compared to surgical options, UFE is associated with lower complications, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster recovery.

During a UFE procedure, the physician injects tiny particles into the blood vessels supplying the fibroids in order to block the blood supply to the fibroids and cause the fibroids to shrink. The procedure takes about an hour and does not require general anesthesia. For most women, it is a welcome alternative to a hysterectomy.

A five-year study reveals that an estimated 90% of women experienced long-term relief after UFE.

Additionally, because UFE maintains the uterus, pregnancy is still possible with successful term deliveries. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advise that women should discuss with their Gynecologist and Physicians if UFE is right for them.
