Fibroid Treatment in Austin

COMING SOON: Fibroid Treatment in Austin, Texas

Every seven out of ten women in the United States have uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that grow in or on the walls of your uterus, varying in size, number, and location. This epidemic can cause heavy and prolonged menstruation, anemia, pain during intercourse, or frequent urination. When these symptoms become painful and impact your daily, work, or personal life, seeking treatment can help you find the relief you desperately need.

Early action to treat your fibroids can help prevent your symptoms from getting worse. However, many women are hesitant to get treated because there is a common misconception that hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, is the only option. We want you to know a hysterectomy isn’t your only option. At our Austin, Texas USA Fibroid Centers, we offer an affordable, non-surgical treatment, Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), that effectively relieves painful fibroid symptoms.

UFE is an FDA-approved outpatient procedure with a shorter recovery time than surgery and keeps the uterus intact, preserving your fertility. You also go home the same day.

Minimally Invasive Austin, Texas Fibroid Treatment

With UFE, there’s no need to take time off work to go to the hospital; in fact, the procedure can be done in 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number and size of your fibroids. You won’t need stitches or have scarring due to UFE using non-surgical methods to treat your fibroids. Our fibroid specialists perform the UFE procedure using state-of-the-art technology with your care in mind at our Austin, Texas, location.

UFE starts with numbing your upper thigh, making a small incision, and inserting a tiny catheter into your thigh. An x-ray called fluoroscopy helps guide the catheter into the uterine artery that supplies blood to fibroids. Then, small embolic material is injected into the uterine artery. These particles block the blood flow and keep blood from getting to your fibroids, causing them to shrink and die.

Compared to other treatments for fibroids, UFE has you back to your daily routines within one to two weeks, while some invasive surgeries take up to eight weeks. You can be free from your painful fibroid symptoms and be able to live your life to the fullest after a visit to our Austin, Texas fibroid centers location.
