Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a gentle, 1-hour outpatient procedure that blocks blood flow to fibroids—causing them to shrink naturally while leaving your uterus 100% intact.

Why Many Women

Choose UFE for Fibroid Treatment

Compared to traditional surgery and hysterectomies, UFE (Uterine Fibroid Embolization) offers life-changing advantages designed to give you lasting symptom relief while honoring your body.

No Incisions icon

No Incisions

UFE is a non-surgical procedure with fewer risks compared to surgery. It is performed through a tiny pinprick access point—meaning patients only need a Band-Aid® post-procedure.

✓ Zero stitches or abdominal scarring
Calmer healthcare icon

Calmer Care Experience

UFE is performed in our private outpatient centers rather than busy hospitals. Patients enjoy quieter, more personalized care from arrival to discharge.

✓ Private outpatient recovery suites
Shorter recoveries timer icon

Shorter Recoveries

Most UFE patients return home the very same day. Recovery takes about one week, compared to six to eight weeks for traditional surgical alternatives.

✓ Back to routine life in ~7 days
Preserve fertility icon

Preserved Fertility

Because UFE leaves the uterus intact, it preserves fertility options for women who want to start or grow a family in the future and prevents premature surgical menopause.

✓ Preserves uterus & ovaries

Empowering Choice

Over 90% of women who qualify for surgery can successfully be treated with non-surgical UFE.

Choosing The Right

Fibroid Treatment For You

Every woman’s experience with fibroids is unique. Finding the right treatment starts with understanding your options. For decades, surgery—specifically a hysterectomy or open myomectomy—was often presented as the only path.

At Emage Fibroid Centers, our fellowship-trained Interventional Radiologists offer a modern, patient-first alternative. Through UFE, we shut down the arterial blood flow feeding the fibroids. Without blood supply, the fibroids naturally shrink and soften, relieving pressure, heavy bleeding, and chronic pain.

✓ No general anesthesia, breathing tubes, or hospital stays
✓ All fibroids treated at the same time through one tiny access point
✓ Return to family, career, and activities within 7 to 10 days

Treatment Experience at Emage

We strive to make fibroid relief simple, comfortable, and reassuring from start to finish. Here is what you can expect when partnering with Emage:

1 Step 1: Private Consultation + −
Meet with an interventional radiologist in the privacy of one of our centers or via secure telehealth. We’ll discuss your medical history, symptoms, past treatments, and goals. We also verify insurance details so you know your exact coverage upfront.
2 Step 2: Pelvic MRI Imaging + −
MRIs are painless, non-invasive outpatient scans that provide high-resolution 3D images of your uterus and pelvis. They reveal the precise size, count, and vascular blood supply of all fibroids, giving our doctors complete clarity to customize your treatment.
3 Step 3: Candidacy Review + −
After reviewing your consultation and MRI, we confirm if you qualify for UFE. Most women who have been told they qualify for surgery are great candidates for UFE. We explain expected results, answer your questions, and align on your treatment schedule.
4 Step 4: Outpatient Procedure Day + −
Your UFE takes place in our specialized outpatient suite. Light sedation and local anesthetics keep you completely relaxed without general anesthesia. The procedure takes under an hour: microscopic particles gently block blood supply to the fibroids. Afterwards, you rest comfortably before heading home the same afternoon.
5 Step 5: Rapid Recovery & Lasting Relief + −
Recovery is about a week, with only a Band-Aid® needed over the tiny access site. Without arterial blood flow, the fibroids soften and shrink over subsequent weeks, delivering substantial symptom relief, lighter cycles, and returned energy.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions women ask about UFE, recovery, and insurance coverage.

How do I know if UFE is right for me? + −
The best way to know is through a specialized consultation and pelvic MRI review with an interventional radiologist. If you suffer from heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, cramps, or frequent urination and want to avoid surgery while keeping your uterus, you are likely an ideal candidate.
Is fibroid treatment really possible without major surgery? + −
Yes, absolutely. UFE has been successfully performed for decades as an FDA-approved, non-surgical alternative to hysterectomy. It blocks the arterial blood supply that feeds the fibroids, causing them to shrink and die off over time without requiring any cutting or removal of the uterus.
Does health insurance cover UFE treatment? + −
Non-surgical UFE treatment is covered by almost all major private health insurance providers (including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana) as well as government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Our patient care team conducts a complimentary insurance verification prior to your appointment.
What is an Interventional Radiologist? + −
Interventional radiologists (IRs) are board-certified medical doctors who specialize in targeted, minimally invasive treatments using advanced imaging guidance (such as live fluoroscopy). Because they navigate blood vessels with micro-catheters, they can treat fibroids from the inside out through a tiny pinprick without incisions.
How long has UFE been a proven treatment? + −
The embolization technology behind UFE has been used in vascular medicine for nearly 40 years, and UFE has specifically been utilized as a primary fibroid treatment since the early 1990s. Hundreds of thousands of women worldwide have safely experienced relief through UFE.
How fast is the recovery compared to a hysterectomy? + −
UFE recovery is roughly 5 to 7 days, compared to 6 to 8 weeks for a surgical hysterectomy. You return home the same afternoon, rest for a few days, and most women are back at work and enjoying active routines the following week.
