Uterine fibroids are noncancerous tumors that grow in the uterus, which range in size from a grape to a cantaloupe. Uterine fibroids affect approximately 20-40% of women over the age of thirty-five. African American women are three times more likely to develop fibroids.
Uterine fibroid embolization is a minimally-invasive, non-surgical treatment for fibroids that can be performed at our Jacksonville fibroid center. A UFE blocks blood supply to the fibroid tumor, making it shrink. During the procedure, the fibroid specialist uses a catheter, which is a thin tube that is inserted through a blood vessel in the leg and guided by X-ray images to those blood vessels that feed the fibroids of the uterus. Once blood flow is blocked, the fibroid starts to shrink.
An alternative to a hysterectomy and myomectomy, a UFE is the only non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure in Jacksonville, performed by a trained fibroid specialist, that preserves your uterus, gets you back to your life in a week (NOT months), and has low to no rate of fibroid return.
