Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that cause symptoms such as pain and heavy bleeding for some women. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is an approved, non-surgical treatment that may be a better option for many women with uterine fibroids than conventional treatments that remove the uterus (hysterectomy) or scrape or burn the fibroids in the uterus (myomectomy). If you would like to avoid the removal of your uterus or other surgery that requires a lengthy recovery, you've come to the right place.

The symptoms of fibroid tumors vary from woman to woman. It is estimated that as many as 50 percent of women have uterine fibroids, but not all women with the condition experience fibroid symptoms or require treatment. Many women, however, experience severe symptoms that interfere with their daily activities and affect their quality of life.
