Fibroid Embolization at DuPont Fibroid Center
At DuPont Fibroid Center, we provide expert care for women seeking effective, minimally invasive solutions for uterine fibroids. One of our most advanced treatments is fibroid embolization, a proven alternative to surgery that targets fibroids at the source. Our team is dedicated to helping you find relief from the painful and disruptive symptoms of fibroids, while preserving your uterus and minimizing downtime.
What Is Fibroid Embolization?
Fibroid embolization, also known as uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), is a non-surgical outpatient procedure performed by our skilled interventional radiologists. It works by blocking the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink over time. Using image-guided technology, we insert a tiny catheter into the artery and release small particles that cut off circulation to the fibroids, all through a small incision, usually in the wrist or groin.
This procedure offers excellent results for reducing symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure, without the need for general anesthesia or an extended hospital stay.
Benefits of Fibroid Embolization
Fibroid embolization provides many advantages over traditional surgical options like hysterectomy or myomectomy. These benefits include:
- Minimally invasive approach
- Uterus preservation
- Short recovery time (typically 5–7 days)
- Outpatient procedure
- Lower risk of complications
Most patients experience significant symptom relief within weeks and continue to see improvement over the following months.
