Experts in Uterine Fibroid Embolization
About Our Uterine Fibroid Treatment Center in Northwest Chicago
Our Belmont Avenue fibroid center proudly serves women in Avondale and surrounding Northwest Chicago neighborhoods with a non-surgical option for treating uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is an outpatient procedure, so patients go home the same day. It doesn’t require general anesthesia or an overnight hospital stay, and recovery is typically shorter than with surgical fibroid treatments.
Our experienced doctors help women find relief from symptoms such as pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, pressure, and frequent urination without major surgery. With convenient online scheduling, fast appointments, and a location on W. Belmont Avenue, getting specialized fibroid care close to home is easier.
Fibroid Diagnosis & Evaluation
During the first visit, a fibroid specialist will review your symptoms and medical history and evaluate your fibroids to help determine whether UFE may be appropriate. Afterward, your doctor will discuss the findings with you and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your condition and treatment goals.
Conditions Treated
Our doctors treat uterine fibroids and adenomyosis using minimally invasive treatment options.
- Uterine fibroids: Fibroids are noncancerous growths that form on or inside the uterine wall, causing pelvic pressure, severe menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding, and fertility issues.
- Adenomyosis: Tissue that normally lines the uterus starts growing into the uterine wall. Adenomyosis symptoms include abdominal swelling, pelvic pain, and heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
If fibroids or adenomyosis are causing symptoms that affect your daily life, an evaluation can help you understand your condition and available treatment options.
Non-Surgical Fibroid Treatment Near You
At our Belmont Avenue location, our doctors use uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), an image-guided procedure that blocks blood flow to fibroids so they can gradually shrink. UFE can treat multiple fibroids during the same procedure, although candidacy depends on factors such as your symptoms, medical history, and imaging results.
UFE typically involves a shorter recovery than surgical fibroid treatments and allows patients to return home the same day. Because pregnancy after UFE is possible but fertility outcomes vary, patients who hope to become pregnant should discuss their reproductive goals with their doctor when considering treatment options.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization in Northwest Chicago
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is performed by an experienced fibroid specialist using advanced image-guided technology. During the procedure, a small catheter is guided through an artery to the blood vessels supplying the fibroids. Tiny embolic particles are then released to block blood flow, causing the fibroids to gradually shrink over the following weeks and months.
Before recommending UFE, your doctor will review your medical history and imaging, discuss your symptoms, and learn about your treatment goals.
Candidacy for UFE
UFE may be right for you if uterine fibroids or adenomyosis are causing symptoms that interfere with your daily routine or quality of life. UFE may also be an option for women seeking a minimally invasive alternative to surgical fibroid treatment while preserving their uterus.
Whether you were recently diagnosed or have been managing symptoms for years, our doctors can help you understand your options and decide what makes sense for you. If you’re looking for non-surgical fibroid treatment near Avondale, a consultation can help determine whether UFE is appropriate for your needs.

I came to see if UFE was an option for after being to numerous hospitals. The doctor was more than generous with his time and walked me through the whole procedure. I felt very comfortable!
