Non-Surgical Treatment for Uterine Fibroids
After unsuccessfully dealing with and trying to treat fibroids for years, I googled fibroid specialists out of desperation to find something that would finally work. (I live very rurally and nobody in this are apparently knows how to treat fibroids even though it is said that up to 30% of women deal with them!) After contacting the fibroid centers that I found while googling, I was set up with telemedicine appointments with Dr. Aaron Shiloh who is extremely knowledgeable and caring, an expert in his field!

Fibroid Treatment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY
We believe that no one should have to live with the debilitating effects of uterine fibroids. Common fibroid symptoms include heavy and prolonged periods, severe menstrual cramps, frequent urination, and a diminished sex life. If you are avoiding discussing the topic with your doctor because you believe a hysterectomy is the only available treatment, we have good news. At USA Fibroid Centers, our specialists offer an effective, non-surgical treatment called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) that can preserve your uterus and potentially eliminate painful, unpleasant, and unpredictable symptoms. Before you make a final treatment decision, be sure to learn about all your available fibroid treatments in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are noncancerous tumors that commonly develop in the muscular cells of the uterus. Although not generally considered dangerous, fibroids can cause harm to surrounding organs and even impact fertility. Women can develop a single fibroid or multiple growths, ranging in size from that of a tiny pea to weighing more than twenty pounds. While you may not experience fibroid symptoms yourself, the type, size, location, and number of fibroids all determine which symptoms occur, along with their severity.
Uterine fibroid symptoms can include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstruation
- Anemia-induced fatigue
- Pelvic or lower back pain
- Constipation
- Stomach bloating
- Frequent urination
- Painful sexual intercourse
- Severe cramps or pelvic pressure

Minimally-Invasive Uterine Fibroids Treatment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York
Unfortunately, many patients are not informed of all available treatment options. Some are even under the impression that a hysterectomy is the only way to resolve symptomatic fibroids. We want to educate the community about Uterine Fibroid Embolization –– the gold standard in fibroid treatment. UFE is performed as an outpatient procedure, involves less risk than surgery, and allows you to keep your uterus, avoid early menopause, and preserve your fertility.
At USA Fibroid Centers in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, our top interventional radiologists perform Uterine Fibroid Embolization in state-of-the-art facilities. Treatment takes between 30 and 45 minutes. You can expect the following:
- To locate your fibroids, we use an advanced ultrasound method called fibroid mapping
- General anesthesia is not required
- After numbing the area, our interventional radiologist makes a tiny incision in your upper thigh
- We then inject embolic material through a tiny catheter into the uterine artery, which blocks blood flow to the fibroid(s)
- Once cut off from blood flow and nutrients, the fibroid(s) will shrink and eventually disappear
- Afterwards, all you’ll need is a Band-Aid, a ride home, and one to two weeks of recovery time
- The injected material remains permanently in the blood vessels at the fibroid site, making it unlikely that the fibroid will regrow in the future
To learn more about Uterine Fibroid Embolization, schedule a consultation in our centrally situated office. We are easily reached via public transportation, and conveniently surrounded by local businesses and restaurants. In Williamsburg, Brooklyn off Graham Ave. at USA Fibroid Centers involves personalized attention and unparalleled medical skill.
