Uterine fibroid embolization is a procedure to shrink noncancerous tumours in the uterus called uterine fibroids.
Uterine fibroid embolisation shrinks fibroids by blocking off their blood supply. The doctor injects very small particles like sand into the arteries that supply the fibroids. This blocks off the blood supply causing the fibroids to shrink. Your symptoms usually ease or go away over time.
The procedure has been safely used by doctors for many years. The procedure is done by a doctor called an interventional radiologist who specializes in treating conditions without using major surgery.
To get started with UFE and determine if it’s the right treatment option for you, it’s vital to set up a consultation with our experts at C3 Medicare.
Our doctors review your symptoms, medical history, and conduct imaging studies to ascertain the number and size of the fibroids you have.
