Fibroid Treatment at USA Fibroid Centers in Philadelphia

Our fibroid specialists perform a minimally-invasive, outpatient treatment called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). UFE can preserve your uterus, alleviate fibroid symptoms, and get you back to your everyday activities in just one to two weeks. 

The procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes and involves a relatively short recovery. Because UFE is a non-surgical, minimally invasive fibroid treatment, you won’t require general anesthesia, and there are no stitches or scarring. When the procedure is completed, you won’t need anything more than a band-aid.

How UFE Compares to Other Uterine Fibroid Treatments

UFE works by cutting off the blood supply to any existing fibroids. Because it addresses all of your fibroids at once, you can get lasting relief with one procedure. It’s also effective for treating large fibroids, which is why so many women prefer it to surgical options and other treatments.

Here’s a look at how UFE compares to myomectomy, hysterectomy, Acessa, and other treatments for fibroids.
