Fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause pain, heavy bleeding, and other symptoms, but they can be effectively treated with minimally invasive procedures.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) in Mountain View
What is Fibroid Treatment?
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, often causing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating, and frequent urination. While some fibroids may not require treatment, others can significantly impact daily life. Minimally invasive treatments like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) offer effective relief without major surgery.
How Does It Work?
Fibroid treatment, particularly Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), is a non-surgical procedure that shrinks fibroids by blocking their blood supply. This minimally invasive approach significantly reduces symptoms while preserving the uterus.
Minimally Invasive Treatment Options:
✔ Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE): A catheter is guided into the uterine arteries to inject tiny particles that block blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink.
✔ MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS): High-frequency sound waves break down fibroid tissue without incisions.
✔ Endometrial Ablation: Reduces heavy menstrual bleeding associated with fibroids.
These procedures allow for faster recovery, fewer complications, and long-lasting symptom relief.
Who Can Benefit from Fibroid Treatment?
Fibroid treatment may be the right choice if you experience:
✔ Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
✔ Pelvic pain or pressure
✔ Bloating or an enlarged abdomen
✔ Frequent urination or constipation
✔ Difficulty getting pregnant due to fibroids
Your doctor will assess your condition and recommend the best treatment option for you.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Fibroid Treatment
✔ No Surgery Required – Avoids hysterectomy and major incisions
✔ Shorter Recovery Time – Most patients return home the same day
✔ Targeted Relief – Treats fibroids while preserving healthy uterine tissue
✔ Long-Lasting Results – Significant symptom improvement and fibroid shrinkage over time
What to Expect
✔ Procedure Length: Typically 30-90 minutes, depending on the treatment type
✔ Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or light sedation is used for comfort
✔ Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within a few days
