Uterine Fibroids Treatment in Brooklyn, New York

If fibroid pain is keeping you from fully enjoying your everyday life, you aren’t alone. USA Fibroid Centers is here to help women throughout the New York area find relief from their symptoms. We currently have five uterine fibroid treatment centers across Brooklyn, New York that provide non-surgical fibroid treatment as a faster and less invasive alternative to a hysterectomy.

About Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that grow in a woman’s reproductive tract. The condition is common, affecting 33% of pre-menopausal women. Many tumors are small enough that women don’t notice their presence, but larger tumors can damage nearby organs and result in uncomfortable symptoms that can be difficult to manage alone. Common symptoms include:

• Prolonged, painful, and heavy periods
• Frequent urge to urinate
• Lower back or pelvic pain
• Painful intercourse
• Anemia and resulting fatigue

If you have symptoms such as these, a professional at one of our Brooklyn treatment centers can confirm your diagnosis and provide treatment options based on your unique situation.

UFE — a Minimally Invasive Fibroid Treatment in Brooklyn, New York

USA Fibroid Centers specializes in Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) treatment — an innovative, outpatient procedure that shrinks fibroids and eliminates painful symptoms without the need for surgery. This minimally invasive procedure requires no hospital stay or extended recovery time, so you can soon return to work and daily activities shortly after your procedure.

Before beginning the treatment, we’ll make sure you’re entirely comfortable by numbing the incision site and relaxing you with a light sedative. Then, we’ll locate the fibroid using an ultrasound. After making a tiny incision, we’ll thread a catheter into the artery supporting the fibroid and release particles to block the blood flow and reduce the tumor’s size. The treatment will shrink your fibroids and many of our patients report feeling relief from their symptoms within the first month following treatment.

The entire process takes only 30 to 45 minutes. Because UFE is not a surgical procedure, no stiches or general anesthesia is required; you’ll be sent home to recover with only a small bandage covering the incision site.

What Can I Expect from UFE Treatment?

Women who receive treatment for uterine fibroids from one of our Brooklyn, NY centers can expect to experience shorter and more comfortable recoveries than those who undergo surgical procedures like a hysterectomy. After UFE, you should be able to resume normal activities after five to seven days and completely recover in one to two weeks.

You should then see significant relief from your fibroid symptoms. Most women report many benefits from UFE treatment, including:

• Reduced the length and heaviness of periods
• Pain, pressure, bloating, constipation, or frequent urination is relieved
• Able to have pain-free sexual intercourse
• Feel more energetic due to increased iron levels
• Less trips to the restroom
• Protruding belly or abdomen has gone away, can fit into normal sizes again
• Find myself buying and using less feminine hygiene products (not having to double-up anymore)
• Taking less over-the-counter pain medications to manage pelvic pain or cramps

You will no longer need to miss out on going to work or doing the things you enjoy due to fibroid pain. UFE treatment offers you a new chance to live your life to its fullest.
