Uterine fibroids don’t always cause a problem, but when they do, those fibroids that were once of no concern quickly cause pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and frequent urination. You won’t want to endure these symptoms long-term, which makes the minimally invasive uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), with its easier recovery compared to other fibroid treatments, appealing.
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often develop in women between the ages of 35 and 54, although women under 35 can still develop fibroids.
For those trying to become pregnant, it can be frustrating to see negative pregnancy test after negative pregnancy test. This often leads to many doctors visits to try and determine the cause behind this struggle, sometimes with no answer.
Uterine fibroids are common in women, with 20 to 80% of women developing them by the time they reach 50.
UFE has several advantages over hysterectomy. For starters, UFE is a minimally invasive and same-day procedure. Compared with a major surgery such as a hysterectomy or myomectomy.
Fibroids are a type of noncancerous tumor that are made up of muscle and connective tissue. They can develop either within the uterus wall or on the uterus, sometimes as just one tumor and sometimes in multiples.
If you have been suffering with painful uterine fibroids you are not alone. Most American women will develop them at some point in their lives.
