Uterine Artery/Fibroid Embolization (UAE or UFE)

This procedure helps to treat heavy bleeding and cramps related to uterine fibroids or adenomyosis. It involves guiding a small catheter into the uterine arteries and injecting tiny particles to decrease blood flow to the uterus. The procedure typically takes 30 minutes and patients go home 2 hours after the procedure. Patients can typically resume their regular activities after just a few days.
