Uterine Fibroid Embolization Benefits

Why People Choose the UFE Procedure

More than three-quarters of people in their childbearing years will develop uterine fibroids, and the UFE specialists near you at Premier Endovascular encourage you to book a consultation and see if this treatment is right for you. Many of our clients choose UFE because:

It is nonsurgical: While you do go under anesthesia, the procedure involves inserting a catheter into an artery and cutting off blood flow to the blood vessels supporting the fibroids. There is minimal downtime and recovery associated with this procedure.
It preserves uterine function: One of the main concerns people have about uterine fibroids is that they can affect one’s fertility. Since the UFE procedure does not directly impact the uterus, it is considered an excellent option for people who hope to become pregnant in the future.
It relieves many symptoms: Heavy bleeding and pain during the menstrual cycle are two of the main symptoms of uterine fibroids, and this procedure can mitigate these issues.
Covered by most insurances: Most insurance plans cover some to all of the cost of UFE, making it a more affordable choice for people of many budgets.

Fast recovery

Following UFE, the targeted fibroids should shrink and die off within a few weeks or months. People are usually able to return to their normal activities within days and see their symptoms decrease as their fibroids do.

Fewer menstrual challenges

Without fibroids to cause extra pain, many people report fewer aches and lighter bleeding during subsequent menstrual periods.

Improved fertility

Similarly, many women are able to pursue fertility treatments and pregnancy following a successful UFE, though they may need to discuss the risks with their OB/GYN before doing so.

Minimal retreatment needs

Once the blood supply to the fibroids are cut off by uterine artery embolization it is rare for them to recur. While recurrence is possible, most people achieve the results they want with the first procedure and do not need retreatment in the future.
