Looking for minimally invasive fibroid treatment in Manhattan, New York? Interventional radiologists at USA Fibroid Centers will help you make an informed decision about your uterine fibroid symptoms. We have two convenient locations in Manhattan where you can receive treatment in a caring environment.

How Do I Know If I Have Uterine Fibroids?

If you’re wondering if you have fibroids, our medical professionals can provide a diagnosis. Uterine fibroid symptoms are different for every woman, and only an interventional radiologist has the skills and knowledge to determine their cause. Before the age of 50, over 80% of women will develop uterine fibroids; however, over half of women in the U.S. don’t think they’re at risk. Fibroid symptoms could include:

• Heavy, prolonged menstruation
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Protruding abdomen or constipation
• Low back or pelvic pain
• Frequent urination
• Difficulty emptying the bladder
• Fatigue due to anemia
• Having to buy and use a significant amount of feminine hygiene products
• Constantly relying on over-the-counter pain medications to relieve pelvic pain or pressure

Non-Surgical Fibroid Treatments Available in Manhattan, New York

Our FDA-approved, non-surgical UFE procedure can help you return to a life without fibroid symptoms. The treatment allows you to return to work and enjoy your everyday activities, all while leaving your uterus and ovaries completely intact. You can expect UFE to take about 30 to 45 minutes, and you can go home the same day. Your doctor will cover the incision with a small bandage that requires no professional removal.

UFE blocks blood flow to the fibroid by releasing small particles into the uterine artery. As a result, fibroids shrink to around half their original size, relieving you of symptoms like heavy bleeding and frequent urination.

Our Marble Hill medical team starts the procedure by making you as comfortable as possible, giving you a light sedative and numbing the area around your incision. We’ll then locate the fibroids and thread a thin catheter into the artery. You’re free to go home shortly after the treatment, which takes around 30 to 45 minutes. Because the knick is small enough to heal without stitches, you’ll leave with just a small bandage over the incision site.

What Can I Expect Before and After UFE?

If you and your doctor agree to pursue UFE treatment, you will first make an appointment for your procedure. You can expect UFE to take about 30 to 45 minutes, and you can go home the same day. After UFE, you can expect to recover at home for about a week until you can resume everyday activities. Everyone has a unique experience with UFE, so your doctor will help you prepare.

Here are a few results our patients have noticed after their treatment:

• Shorter, lighter periods lasting between 5-7 days
• Less constipation and bloating
• Decreased pain during intercourse
• No pelvic pressure or pain
• Normal frequency of urination
• No protruding belly or abdomen
• 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
