Heavy bleeding. Pelvic discomfort. Ongoing fatigue.
Uterine fibroids can affect your energy, confidence and everyday routine, but surgery isn’t the only path to feeling better.
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive outpatient treatment that shrinks fibroids without removing the uterus. At Dallas Fibroid Center, most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities in just a few weeks.
✔ No hysterectomy
✔ No hospital admission
✔ Faster recovery timeline
✔ Uterus preserved
✔ Covered by most major insurance plans
If fibroid symptoms are interfering with your daily life, specialized treatment may help you regain comfort and control.
Is UFE right for you?
Many women silently cope with heavy bleeding, constant pressure and fatigue, assuming these symptoms are simply something they must live with.
Fibroids affect up to 80% of women by age 50, yet many don’t realize there are effective non-surgical treatment options available.
If fibroid symptoms are affecting your daily life, you may recognize some of these experiences:
You may feel anxious about leaving the house during your period because bleeding feels unpredictable or difficult to manage.
Long, heavy cycles can leave you drained, foggy and constantly trying to push through fatigue caused by ongoing blood loss.
Many women find themselves planning their day around access to restrooms or worrying about bleeding through clothing at work or in public.
Persistent pressure, bloating or fullness in your abdomen can make it feel like your body has changed without explanation.
Fibroids may cause discomfort during intimacy, clothing that suddenly feels tighter or a constant heaviness that never fully goes away, even when you try to rest.
Frequent trips to the bathroom, difficulty fully emptying your bladder or ongoing constipation can occur when fibroids press against nearby organs.
These symptoms can disrupt sleep, long commutes and daily routines, leaving you frustrated and uncomfortable.
Fibroid symptoms often affect more than physical health. You may find yourself canceling plans, missing workdays, avoiding travel or feeling less confident because your symptoms feel unpredictable.
Over time, it can feel like your schedule — and your life — revolves around managing discomfort.
The good news is that these symptoms are treatable, and minimally invasive options like uterine fibroid embolization can help you feel like yourself again without major surgery.
Uterine fibroid embolization is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that treats fibroids by reducing their blood supply.
During treatment, an interventional radiologist inserts a tiny catheter through the wrist or groin and guides it to the uterine arteries. Small particles block blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink gradually while preserving the uterus.
Many women with fibroids are first presented with hysterectomy or surgical fibroid removal.
UFE offers a minimally invasive alternative that relieves symptoms without extended recovery times, hospitalization or major surgery.
