Do You Recognize These Symptoms?

Fibroids Affect 1 in 4 Women —
You Are Not Alone

Uterine fibroids can cause a wide range of symptoms that disrupt your work, relationships, sleep, and quality of life. If any of these sound familiar, UFE may be the answer you've been searching for.

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Soaking through pads every hour, passing large clots, or bleeding that lasts more than 7 days.

Pelvic Pain & Pressure

A feeling of heaviness, cramping, or persistent aching in your lower abdomen or pelvis.

Fatigue & Anemia

Constant exhaustion from iron-deficiency anemia caused by excessive monthly blood loss.

Frequent Urination

Needing to urinate more often than normal because fibroids press against your bladder.

Bloating & Enlarged Belly

A swollen or distended abdomen that makes you look or feel pregnant even when you're not.

Pain During Intimacy

Discomfort or pain during sex that strains your relationships and emotional well-being.

Lower Back & Leg Pain

Radiating pain to the lower back, hips, or legs from pressure on nearby nerves.

Fertility & Pregnancy Concerns

Difficulty conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy due to fibroid location or size.

Constipation & Bowel Issues

Difficulty with bowel movements because fibroids press on the rectum or intestines.

Experiencing 3 or more of these symptoms? You may be a great candidate for UFE.

Understanding Your Body

Where Fibroids Form & How They Affect You

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in and around the uterus. See exactly where they form and the symptoms they cause in each location.

Pelvic Pressure & Bloating
Subserosal fibroids press outward, causing a visibly enlarged abdomen and constant pelvic heaviness.
Heavy Bleeding & Cramps
Intramural fibroids grow within the uterine wall, distorting the cavity and causing flooding periods and severe cramping.
Frequent Urination
Fibroids pressing on the bladder create urgency, frequency, and incomplete emptying — even at night.
UTERUS
Subserosal
Intramural
Submucosal
Iron-Deficiency Anemia
Submucosal fibroids inside the uterine cavity cause abnormally heavy periods, leading to dangerous blood loss and fatigue.
Back & Leg Pain
Large fibroids press on surrounding nerves and muscles, radiating pain to the lower back, hips, and down the legs.
UFE Shrinks All Types
UFE delivers microspheres through a catheter to cut off blood supply to every fibroid — regardless of size, number, or location.

Do any of these symptoms sound familiar? UFE can treat every fibroid — at once, without surgery.

Why Choose UFE?

A Better Path Forward — Without Major Surgery

UFE (Uterine Fibroid Embolization) is a minimally invasive procedure that shrinks fibroids by cutting off their blood supply — without a single incision. It's FDA-cleared, widely covered by insurance, and has helped hundreds of thousands of women reclaim their lives.

No surgery. No incisions. A tiny needle-stick is all that's needed — performed through a small catheter.
Your uterus is preserved. Unlike a hysterectomy, UFE keeps your uterus completely intact.
Recovery in 1–2 weeks. Most women return to work and normal life in 7–14 days (vs. 6–8 weeks for surgery).
Treats ALL fibroids at once. UFE addresses every fibroid in a single procedure, unlike myomectomy which may miss some.
90% success rate. 9 out of 10 women experience significant or complete symptom relief within 3 months.
Outpatient or overnight stay. Most patients go home the same day or after one night — not weeks in the hospital.

What Women Are Saying

"I had fibroids for 6 years and suffered every single month. After UFE, within 3 months my periods went back to normal. I wish I had done this sooner. No surgery, no hospital stay — I was back at work in 10 days."

Real Patient Transformations

Life Before UFE vs. Life After UFE

This is what lasting fibroid relief actually looks like — not in a lab, but in the everyday lives of real women.

Before UFE

  • Soaking through protection every hour — planning life around your period
  • Missing 2–4 days of work per month from pain, fatigue, and bleeding
  • Constant pelvic pressure, back pain, and bloating you can't explain
  • Exhausted from anemia — too tired to exercise, socialize, or enjoy life
  • Told your only option is a hysterectomy — a major surgery with 6–8 weeks recovery
  • Suffering in silence, wondering if this is just "how it has to be"

After UFE — Avg. 3 Months

  • Normal period flow — no more flooding, no more clots, no more panic
  • Back to work in an average of 8 days — not weeks, not months
  • Pelvic pressure and bloating significantly reduced or gone
  • Energy restored as hemoglobin levels normalize — feeling like yourself again
  • Uterus fully preserved — no surgery, no incisions, no general anesthesia
  • 90% of patients report significant or complete relief — and wish they had done it sooner
