The Procedure

What is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?

UFE is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that shrinks fibroids by blocking the blood supply that feeds them. An interventional radiologist guides a thin catheter to the uterine arteries and releases microscopic particles. Without blood flow, fibroids shrink and symptoms fade.

Outpatient procedure

No hospital stay required. Go home within hours.

No surgical incision

A single pinhole in the wrist or groin. No abdominal cut.

Treats all fibroids at once

Every fibroid is targeted in one session.

Preserves the uterus

No hysterectomy. Your uterus stays intact

Monique Smith

"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. "

Jummy

"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."

What are uterine fibroids?

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus and can cause symptoms like heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure.

Do fibroids always need treatment?

Not always. Some fibroids can be monitored, but treatment is recommended when symptoms affect quality of life.

Is UFE a surgery?

No. UFE is a non-surgical, minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed through a tiny pinhole incision — no large surgical incision and no hospital stay.

How long is recovery after UFE?

Most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities within 1–2 weeks, compared with 4–8 weeks for traditional fibroid surgery.

Does UFE preserve fertility?

UFE preserves the uterus and may be an option depending on your fertility goals. A specialist can help guide this decision based on your individual case.

Is fibroid treatment covered by insurance?

Yes. UFE is covered by most major insurance plans in Texas, including Medicare, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and Humana. We verify coverage before treatment.
