Uterine Fibroid Embolization

Heavy Periods? Pelvic Pain? Frequent Urination? Constipation/Bloating?
You might have uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that grow on or in the muscles of the uterus. At least 25% of women in the U.S. have fibroids. African American women are more likely to develop fibroids.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a safe, non-surgical procedure for treating uterine fibroids and providing symptom relief. UFE is covered by most insurance, even HMO's and MediCal.
