Non Surgical Treatment For uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids cause unpleasant symptoms including pelvic pain and bleeding.Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure which aims to relieve the symptoms by preventing blood flow to the fibroids.

This cuts off the blood flow and causes the tumour (or tumours) to shrink. The artery on the other side of the uterus is then treated. The skin puncture where the catheter was inserted is cleaned and covered with a bandage.
