Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive treatment designed to relieve symptoms caused by uterine fibroids without the need for traditional surgery. Fibroids are noncancerous growths that can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, bloating, and discomfort that affect daily life. UFE works by blocking the blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink over time and significantly reducing symptoms.
