Frequently asked questions
Is UFE the same as hysterectomy?
No. UFE is a minimally invasive procedure that treats fibroids without removing the uterus. It is not appropriate for every patient.
Can UFE help heavy bleeding?
Many appropriate candidates experience improvement in bleeding and pressure symptoms, but individual results vary.
Will I need imaging?
Fibroid evaluation often relies on ultrasound or MRI to understand fibroid size, location, and whether UFE is a good fit.
Is UFE outpatient?
UFE is typically performed as a minimally invasive image-guided procedure, but exact setting and recovery depend on the patient and physician recommendation.
Can I compare UFE with surgery?
Yes. Consultation should include discussion of UFE, medication options, myomectomy, hysterectomy, and other appropriate alternatives.
