Uterine fibroids are benign growths that can lead to heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure and discomfort that disrupts everyday life. If surgery is not the right choice for you or if other treatments have not provided lasting relief, there is another option. At Swift Vein and Vascular Dr. Pradeep Goyal offers uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). This minimally invasive procedure works by safely blocking the blood supply to fibroids, allowing them to shrink and easing symptoms. To learn if UFE is the right solution for you, contact Swift Vein and Vascular today to schedule your consultation.<\/p>\n

What are Uterine Fibroids?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus and affect millions of women during their reproductive years. Depending on their size and location, fibroids can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating, and pressure on the bladder or bowel. Beyond their physical size, fibroids are increasingly understood to be influenced by abnormal blood flow and excess vascularity, which sustain their growth and worsen symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

This vascular component makes fibroid symptoms particularly difficult to manage with medications alone. Recognizing this mechanism allows for targeted, minimally invasive treatments such as <\/span>Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)<\/b> offered at Swift Vein and Vascular, which directly address the abnormal blood supply feeding fibroids and help shrink them effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids<\/b><\/h2>\n

Women with fibroids may experience a wide range of symptoms that can interfere with quality of life. Common symptoms include:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding<\/b>: Periods lasting longer than usual or soaking through pads\/tampons quickly.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Pelvic pain or pressure<\/b>: A constant heaviness or aching in the lower abdomen.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Frequent urination<\/b>: Pressure on the bladder causing the need to urinate more often.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Constipation or bloating<\/b>: Fibroids pressing on the bowel may cause digestive discomfort.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Pain during intimacy<\/b>: Depending on fibroid location, intercourse may become uncomfortable.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Anemia and fatigue<\/b>: Ongoing blood loss from heavy periods can lead to iron deficiency and exhaustion.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    Causes and Risk Factors<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Fibroids develop due to a combination of hormonal, genetic, and vascular factors. Contributing risks include:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Hormonal influence<\/b>: Estrogen and progesterone fuel fibroid growth.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Abnormal blood vessel growth<\/b>: Excess blood supply sustains fibroids, which is the target of UFE.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Family history<\/b>: Women with close relatives who had fibroids are more likely to develop them.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Age<\/b>: Most common during reproductive years, especially between ages 30\u201350.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Obesity<\/b>: Excess body weight is linked to increased fibroid risk and severity.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Ethnicity<\/b>: Fibroids are more common and may appear earlier in women of African descent.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

      UFE is a minimally invasive treatment in which tiny particles are injected into the arteries supplying the fibroids. By blocking blood flow, fibroids shrink over time, reducing or eliminating symptoms.<\/p>\n

      [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Who is a good candidate for UFE?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

      Women with symptomatic fibroids, such as heavy periods, pelvic pressure, frequent urination, or pain, who want to avoid surgery or preserve their uterus may be good candidates for UFE.<\/p>\n

      [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How does UFE compare to surgery?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

      Unlike hysterectomy or myomectomy, UFE does not require incisions or removal of the uterus. It usually involves a shorter recovery, less pain, and fewer risks, while still providing long-term symptom relief.<\/p>\n

      [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What can I expect during recovery?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

      Most women return home the same day or after a short hospital stay. Cramping, fatigue, or mild flu-like symptoms can occur for a few days, but most patients resume normal activities within 1\u20132 weeks.<\/p>\n

      [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is UFE safe, and will it affect fertility?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

      UFE is considered safe with a low risk of serious complications. Many women retain normal uterine function, but its effects on future fertility can vary. Women wishing to become pregnant should discuss all options with their doctor before treatment.<\/p>\n
