There are several procedures for fibroid removal, including myomectomy, hysterectomy, and uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). Myomectomy involves removing fibroids while leaving the uterus intact. Hysterectomy involves removing the entire uterus and is typically used for larger fibroids or when fertility is not a concern. UFE is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and die.
At USA Fibroid Centers, fibroids can be removed using a minimally invasive procedure called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). During this procedure, a small catheter is inserted into the artery that supplies blood to the fibroid. Tiny particles are injected to block the blood flow, causing the fibroid to shrink and eventually die. UFE is a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgery, with a shorter recovery time and less risk of complications.
