Experts in Uterine Fibroid Embolization
About Our Uterine Fibroid Treatment Center in Staten Island, NY
Heavy or prolonged periods, pelvic pressure, bloating, and frequent urination can start to shape how you plan your week. These symptoms can be associated with uterine fibroids or adenomyosis, and an evaluation can help determine what is behind them.
Our Staten Island fibroid center offers consultations and uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), a minimally invasive, image-guided outpatient procedure that does not involve removing the uterus. For adenomyosis, a related procedure called uterine artery embolization (UAE) may be an option. Your specialist recommends a plan only after evaluating your symptoms and health history. Our facility is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
Fibroid and Adenomyosis Symptoms We Evaluate
Our doctors evaluate two common conditions that can cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure:
- Uterine fibroids: Non-cancerous growths that form on or inside the uterus. Depending on their size and location, they may cause prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, and fertility concerns.
- Adenomyosis: A condition in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. It may cause heavy bleeding, severe menstrual cramps, and abdominal swelling. Learn more about adenomyosis.
Symptoms patients often ask about include:
- Heavy or prolonged periods
- Pelvic and back pain
- Anemia-related fatigue
- Bloating or an enlarged uterus
- Frequent urination
Not every one of these symptoms comes from fibroids or adenomyosis. A specialist can help you find out what is causing yours.
What to Expect at Your Fibroid Consultation in Staten Island, NY
Your first visit is meant to answer questions and give you information, not to rush you toward a procedure.
1. A conversation with a fibroid specialist
You will talk through your symptoms, concerns, health history, and treatment goals.
2. Evaluation
We provide an exam during your first visit to help determine what may be causing your symptoms and to assess the location and severity of any fibroids. Your specialist also reviews your imaging and ultrasound results, so bring any previous reports you have.
3. Your Fibroid Treatment plan
Your specialist explains what they found and whether UFE or UAE is appropriate for you, and answers your questions before you decide on next steps. See how to prepare for your visit.
Fibroid Treatment Near You: Uterine Fibroid Embolization
UFE is a non-surgical fibroid treatment near you that preserves the uterus. During the procedure, a fibroid specialist uses image guidance to place a small catheter into a blood vessel and deliver tiny particles that block the blood supply feeding the fibroids. With less blood flow, the fibroids may shrink over time, which can help with symptoms such as heavy bleeding, painful periods, pelvic pressure, back pain, and anemia-related fatigue.
Recovery is generally shorter than recovery from procedures that remove the uterus, and it varies from person to person. Your specialist will explain what to expect for your situation. Read more about the UFE procedure.
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) for adenomyosis
UAE uses a similar catheter-based approach and may be used to treat adenomyosis. Whether UAE is appropriate depends on your diagnosis and evaluation. Learn about uterine artery embolization.
Comparing your local fibroid treatment options
If you are weighing different approaches, these pages explain how UFE compares with hysterectomy, myomectomy, and ablation.
Is UFE Right for You?
If fibroid or adenomyosis symptoms are getting in the way of work, activities, or daily routines, UFE may be worth discussing. It can be an option for women who want to treat their symptoms without having the uterus removed. UFE is not appropriate for everyone.
At your consultation, your specialist reviews your symptoms, medical history, and imaging to decide whether UFE fits your situation. If you hope to become pregnant, tell your specialist early so they can talk through how treatment options relate to your family planning goals.
