Fibroids are a common cause of infertility and heavy menstrual bleeding. If you are a woman of childbearing age, it is important to have your fibroids treated before you start trying to conceive. Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that can help treat uterine fibroids by blocking blood flow to the fibroid. UFE in Houston works by injecting small particles (microspheres) into the uterine artery and blocking off blood flow to the fibroid. This causes the fibroid to shrink in size and eventually disappear completely, leaving behind only scar tissue. UFE has been shown to be safe and effective in treating uterine fibroids with few major complications reported in multiple clinical studies. There are some risks associated with the procedure including bleeding, infection, non-target embolization (when microspheres get lodged in other areas besides where intended), or damage to other structures such as bladder or bowel walls (this would require additional surgery). However, these risks are minimal when performed by a qualified physician such as Dr. Maneevese at Houston’s premier fibroid treatment center.
