Dr Lawson tells us about the non-surgical treatment for fibroids called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE).

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), also known as uterine artery embolization, is a minimally invasive treatment for uterine fibroids. 

A doctor uses a small flexible tube (catheter) to inject tiny particles into the uterine arteries, which supply blood to your fibroids. The goal is to block tiny vessels that lead to your fibroids, starve the fibroids and cause them to die. Without their blood supply, the fibroids shrink and painful symptoms are alleviated.

Fibroid Care specializes in fibroid treatment through uterine fibroids embolization (UFE).
