Uterine fibroid embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink and alleviate symptoms. While fibroids are almost always non-cancerous tumors, the pain and side effects they cause can devastate many women. You don’t have to suffer from painful uterine fibroids that disrupt your life. In New York City, you have access to a top fibroid expert in Dr. George Bolotin. His Astra Fibroid Treatment Specialists provide you with access to the latest technology to treat fibroids painlessly and thoroughly with a procedure called uterine fibroid embolization or UFE. UFE is safe and effective, even if you’re pregnant. Call today to schedule a consultation for this amazing treatment option.
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive, outpatient treatment procedure commonly used to treat uterine fibroids. An endovascular procedure, it involves the injection of embolic agents into the arteries that supply fibroids with blood. Once the blood supply stops, the fibroids starve and die.
UFE is one of the more advanced fibroid treatments available after your diagnosis. The non-surgical procedure offers a safer, faster and more effective treatment for uterine growths, while also alleviating your fibroid symptoms. With this treatment, you preserve your uterus and avoid the complications of surgery.
After a diagnosis of fibroids, Dr. George Bolotin and the team at the Brooklyn and Bronx-based practice of Astra Fibroid Treatment Specialists use advanced medical technology to treat your condition. Among the cutting-edge medical procedures offered at these fibroids, the center is artery embolization for uterine fibroids, most commonly referred to as UFE.
When suffering from symptomatic fibroids, consider consulting a double board-certified Diagnostic and Interventional Radiologist who offers Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). This minimally invasive, outpatient procedure allows for a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery compared to surgical options. Additionally, UFE preserves the uterus, helping you maintain your reproductive health.
