Who is a Candidate for Uterine Fibroid Embolization?
UFE may be an appropriate treatment for women who have symptomatic fibroids and want to avoid hysterectomy or other invasive surgeries. Symptoms can include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on the bladder or bowel. However, UFE may not be suitable for women who want to become pregnant in the future, as it can affect fertility.
