Before Uterine Fibroid Embolization, patients typically undergo a clinical assessment and imaging such as MRI or ultrasound to evaluate fibroid size, number, and location. Medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy status, and fertility goals may also be reviewed. During UFE, a catheter is guided to the uterine arteries and tiny particles are used to reduce blood flow to the fibroids. After treatment, cramping and fatigue may occur while the fibroids gradually shrink. This resource covers preparation, procedure steps, aftercare, recovery, follow-up, and potential complications.
