Surgery Vs. Ufe: Comparing Fibroid Removal Options

Women with uterine fibroids have several fibroid removal options depending on their symptoms, fibroid size and location, overall health, and future fertility plans. Surgical treatments such as myomectomy can remove individual fibroids, while hysterectomy removes the uterus and is a permanent option for those who do not wish to become pregnant. Minimally invasive treatments may offer another approach. Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) blocks blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink without removing the uterus. USA Fibroid Centers specializes in minimally invasive fibroid treatment and can help patients understand their options and choose an approach suited to their individual needs.
