What Is Uterine Fibroid Embolization? Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure performed by interventional radiology specialists that treats fibroids by blocking their blood supply, causing them to shrink over time. It is an effective alternative to surgery.
Common Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Overview:
- Hormonal imbalance (estrogen and progesterone)
- Family history of fibroids
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain or pressure, similar to conditions requiring pain in hip joint treatment
- Frequent urination or bloating
Fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can vary in size and number. Early evaluation ensures proper diagnosis and the best minimally invasive treatment before symptoms worsen.
