How does the UFE procedure work?

How do you perform UFE?

How do I know if I am a candidate for UFE?

What are the benefits of UFE over other fibroid therapies?

I had a pelvic ultrasound in my gynecologist's office. Is this satisfactory imaging, or do I still need a MRI?

Does the size and number of fibroids matter?

I have had a myomectomy, can I still be considered for UFE?

I have had an Endometrial Ablation, can I still be considered for UFE?

Yes. Endometrial Ablation burns the lining of the uterus through different forms of heat (exs. Scalding hot water in a balloon, microwave energy, etc.). This can only try to treat the bleeding associated with fibroids, but does nothing to the fibroid itself or the bulk symptoms associated with fibroids (exs. Pelvic pain, increased urinary frequency, constipation, etc.).

How long will I spend in the hospital?

What is the recovery period at home and how long will I be out of work?
