Uterine Fibroid Embolization at RIA Endovascular

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that offers an effective alternative to surgery for those suffering from symptomatic fibroids. At RIA Endovascular, UFE is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to receive high-quality care without the need for an extended hospital stay.

During the procedure, a small incision is made in the wrist or groin to access the blood vessels supplying the fibroids. Using advanced imaging guidance, tiny particles are introduced to block these vessels, reducing blood flow to the fibroids and causing them to shrink over time. Most patients experience relief from symptoms like heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure within a few weeks of the procedure.

The outpatient setting at RIA Endovascular ensures a comfortable experience with attentive care, enabling patients to return home the same day. Recovery typically involves some mild discomfort and cramping, but many find significant improvement in their quality of life soon after. With expert physicians and compassionate staff, RIA Endovascular makes UFE a safe and effective option for women seeking relief from uterine fibroids.
