Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) Near You
At USA Fibroid Centers, our Chicago fibroid doctors specialize in UFE — a minimally invasive treatment designed to shrink fibroids by reducing their blood supply. Patients are often not informed of all available treatment options. As a result, they may avoid treatment altogether.
We want you to know that compared to a hysterectomy, Uterine Fibroid Embolization is a less invasive, lower-risk, non-surgical treatment that leaves your uterus and ovaries intact. Our specialized interventional radiologists perform UFE procedures at our outpatient facility.
Unlike other fibroid removal techniques, UFE:
- Takes between 30 and 45 minutes
- Locates fibroids using an advanced ultrasound method called fibroid mapping
- Uses light sedation instead of general anesthesia
- Involves only a small incision in your upper thigh
- Doesn’t require stitches
- Offers a short recovery time, with most women returning to normal activities within one to two weeks
During the procedure, our fibroid specialists in Chicago inject embolic material through a tiny catheter into the uterine artery to block blood flow to the fibroids. Once cut off from blood flow and nutrients, the fibroid(s) shrink and eventually die. The injected material remains permanently in the blood vessels at the fibroid site, making it unlikely that the fibroid will regrow to become problematic again in the future. After UFE, you will go home with only a small bandage on your incision.
Conditions We Treat
Our team evaluates and treats several types of uterine fibroids, including:
- Intramural fibroids
- Submucosal fibroids
- Subserosal fibroids
- Symptomatic fibroids

We also help patients understand how fibroids may relate to symptoms like anemia, pelvic pressure, and abnormal bleeding.

My UFE consultation went so well. I had been hearing about UFE for a while so had a lot of questions and the doctor explained them all and why the procedure would work for me. Very thorough and kind. Good bedside manner.
