Fibroid Treatment in Washington DC

Fibroid Treatment in Downtown Washington D.C. 

Nearly 70% of women in the United States have uterine fibroids. Fibroids are benign tumors that grow in or on your uterus, varying in size, number, and location. Fibroids can cause symptoms such as heavy and prolonged menstruation, anemia, pain during intercourse, or frequent urination. When these symptoms become painful and impact your daily, work, or personal life, seeking treatment can help you find relief. 

Early intervention to treat your fibroids can help prevent your symptoms from getting worse, however, many women are hesitant to get treated because there is a common misconception that hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, is the only option. We want you to know a hysterectomy isn’t your only option. At our Washington D.C. USA Fibroid Centers, we offer an affordable, non-surgical treatment, Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), that has been found to be effective at relieving painful fibroid symptoms.

UFE is an FDA approved, outpatient procedure that has a shorter recovery than surgery and keeps the uterus intact, preserving your fertility.

Minimally Invasive Fibroid Treatment in D.C. on K Street

With UFE, there’s no need to take time off work to go to the hospital; in fact, the procedure can be done in 30 to 45 minutes depending on the number and size of your fibroids. You won’t need stitches or have scarring because UFE uses non-surgical methods to treat your fibroids. At our D.C. K Street location, our fibroid specialists perform the UFE procedure using state-of-the-art technology. UFE involves numbing your upper thigh, making a small incision, and inserting a tiny catheter. A type of x-ray called fluoroscopy helps guide the catheter into the uterine artery that supplies blood to fibroids. Then, small embolic material is injected into the uterine artery. These particles block the blood flow and keep blood from getting to your fibroids, causing them to shrink and die.

Compared to other treatments for fibroids, UFE has you back to your regular daily routines within one to two weeks, while some invasive surgeries take up to eight weeks. You can be free from your painful fibroid symptoms and be able to live your life to the fullest after a visit to our D.C. K Street Fibroid Centers location.
