"UFE is a highly advanced, non-surgical option for alleviating uterine fibroids and their symptoms. As a safe and extremely effective solution for symptomatic fibroids, UFE provides a more comfortable and significantly less invasive alternative to myomectomy or hysterectomy—helping women get back to their lives faster."

— Dr. Jay Patel, MD

What Is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?

Uterine fibroid embolization is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that shrinks fibroids by blocking their blood supply—no surgery, no hysterectomy, no hospital stay required.

During UFE, an interventional radiologist guides a thin catheter through a small incision (at the wrist or groin) to the uterine arteries. Tiny particles are then delivered to block the blood vessels feeding your fibroids. Without blood flow, fibroids soften and shrink over the following months, and symptoms resolve.

How UFE Works

  1. Consultation & Imaging Review — We review your symptoms, medical history, and any prior imaging (MRI or ultrasound)
  2. The Procedure — Performed under light sedation through a pinhole incision; takes 60-90 minutes
  3. Same-Day Recovery — You go home the same day with pain management protocols
  4. Results — Fibroids shrink 40-60% within 3-6 months; symptoms improve within 1-3 cycles

Outpatient Convenience

UFE is performed in our accredited outpatient center—not a hospital. You arrive in the morning, have your procedure under light sedation, and return home the same day.

Living with Fibroids in Dallas-Fort Worth

Fibroids affect up to 80% of women by age 50, but many don't realize their symptoms are treatable without major surgery. If you're experiencing any of the following, you may be a candidate for UFE:

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Periods lasting longer than 7 days, soaking through pads or tampons hourly, passing large clots, or needing to double up on protection. Many women with fibroids develop anemia from chronic blood loss—leaving you exhausted before your day even starts.

Pelvic Pain and Pressure

That constant heaviness or bloating that won't go away. Pain during intercourse. Visible abdominal bulging that makes you look pregnant when you're not. Fibroids pressing on nerves can cause sharp, shooting pains.

Bladder and Bowel Problems

Running to the bathroom constantly—or feeling like you can never fully empty your bladder. Constipation or painful bowel movements when fibroids press against your rectum. These symptoms can make Dallas commutes and long workdays miserable.

Impact on Daily Life

Missing work during your period. Canceling plans because you're afraid of bleeding through your clothes. Avoiding intimacy. Feeling like your body is controlling your life instead of the other way around.

You don't have to live like this.

So thankful and grateful of this company and the services offered. UFE has improved my daily livelihood.

Jummy

I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Eric Hardee and the nursing staff who took care of me during my UFE procedure. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease with the professionalism and kindness shown by the entire team. 

Monique Smith

Dr. Fox and his team are AMAZING. His confidence with UFE made me feel at ease to know I was in the right hands. I had the procedure done 2 weeks after my birthday in February and this month marks 10 months and i see a huge improvement with my periods.

Q

Great from beginning to end. I’m more than excited that I took this route as opposed to getting the myomectomy. The UFE procedure was the best option for me as I didn’t want to risk having to get an unplanned hysterectomy.

So thankful and grateful of this company and the services offered. UFE has improved my daily livelihood.

How long is the recovery for fibroid treatment at your Dallas office?

Recovery after UFE at our Dallas clinic typically takes 1-2 weeks. Most women experience moderate cramping for 24-48 hours post-procedure, which we manage with prescribed pain medication. Most patients return to desk jobs within 5-7 days. Jobs requiring physical labor may require 2 weeks. Compare this to 6-8 weeks for hysterectomy recovery.

Where is the best place for non-surgical fibroid removal in the Dallas area?

Texas Endovascular's Dallas clinic at 3920 W Wheatland Rd offers specialized UFE treatment led by Dr. Jay Patel, a Dallas native with 20+ years of experience, former Chief of Interventional Radiology at Baylor Medical Center, and recognized as a D Magazine Best Doctor and Texas Monthly Super Doctor. Our Dallas location is conveniently accessible from Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Richardson, and Addison.

How do I know if I'm a candidate for UFE?

Most women with symptomatic fibroids are candidates for UFE. Ideal candidates have fibroids confirmed on imaging (ultrasound or MRI) and want to avoid surgery. A consultation with Dr. Patel or our team will determine if UFE is right for your specific situation. Schedule a consultation.

Is UFE painful?

During the procedure, you'll be comfortably sedated. Afterward, most women experience moderate cramping—similar to menstrual cramps—for 24-48 hours. We provide pain management protocols to keep you comfortable. Most patients describe the discomfort as very manageable compared to surgical alternatives.

Will UFE affect my hormones or cause early menopause?

No. UFE targets only the blood supply to your fibroids—it does not affect your ovaries or hormone production. Your menstrual cycle continues, typically with significantly lighter periods once fibroids shrink.

What are the UFE success rates for the Dallas team specifically?

Our Dallas physicians have performed thousands of UFE procedures with a 90%+ symptom relief rate, consistent with national outcomes from high-volume centers. Dr. Patel's 20+ years of experience, leadership as Chief of IR at Baylor, and recognition as a D Magazine Best Doctor and Texas Monthly Super Doctor reflect the level of expertise you'll receive.

Can I get UFE if I still want to have children?

UFE is primarily recommended for women who have completed childbearing. However, it does preserve the uterus entirely, and some women have had successful pregnancies after UFE. If future fertility is a priority, we'll discuss all your options—including UFE and myomectomy—during your consultation so you can make an informed decision
