Hands down this has been the best doctor patient experience I’ve had in a long time! If you have fibroids and you’re looking to get help with them you know how much an ordeal this can be. From doctors being cavalier and not giving a kitty or others pushing a hysterectomy as a cure all. So my expectations of working with the careteam at the Southampton, PA USA Fibroid Center was a wait and see attitude. However, that quickly changed!!! Everyone here is so warm, caring, and considerate. Idaly, Ruthie, Tracey, Rafael, Emely, Sharoqui, Olga, Iryna, and Dr. Shiloh, it has been an honor to have them as my careteam! They made this experience heart warming. I felt so at ease under their care. I would give them a million stars if I could, cause they deserve it!

At USA Fibroid Centers, our doctors provide advanced care for fibroids in our outpatient facility in Shirlington in Arlington, VA. Our fibroid specialists are compassionate physicians who understand how difficult fibroids can be and are experts at treating this condition.
We use the gold standard in non-surgical fibroid care — uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). With UFE, you can go home on the same day as your treatment with nothing more than a band-aide.

Don’t keep living with fibroid symptoms. Schedule a consultation to see a specialist at our clinic in Arlington today.
Uterine Fibroid Symptoms
Uterine fibroids are benign growths that can develop on or inside the uterus. The majority of women will have fibroids by age 50. In fact, they are the most common noncancerous tumor among women of childbearing age.
While many women with fibroids don’t have symptoms, for those who do, everyday life can be a challenge. Uterine fibroids can cause severe pain and lead to complications such as chronic fatigue from anemia. They can also make it difficult to get pregnant or maintain a pregnancy.
Other signs and symptoms of uterine fibroids include the following:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Bleeding between menstrual cycles
- Pelvic pain
- Lower back pain
- Frequent urination
- Pain during sexual intercourse
Use our fibroid symptom checker to find out if your symptoms might be caused by fibroids.
If you have symptoms, it’s important to see a specialist at a fibroid center near you so you can get the care you need. Fibroids can cause increasingly severe symptoms, and they don’t usually go away without treatment.
Non-Surgical Fibroid Treatment: Uterine Fibroid Embolization in Arlington, VA
UFE is an FDA-approved treatment that is less invasive than traditional fibroid removal surgery. It’s a popular procedure that is recognized as a safe and effective treatment by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) and has been in practice for over two decades.
During the procedure, your doctor will target the small arteries that supply blood to the fibroids. They use a minimally invasive technique to block the blood supply to the tumors using tiny microspheres, causing them to shrink and die.
There’s no blood loss or scarring with UFE, and women can return to their normal activity within 11 days, on average.

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.
