Understanding Embolization (Uterine Fibroid)
Instead of removing fibroids surgically, this procedure uses tiny particles to block the arteries feeding them. Deprived of blood, the fibroids shrink and symptoms improve while the uterus is preserved.
Performed through a small puncture in the groin, uterine artery embolization offers an effective alternative to surgery for suitable women, with a shorter recovery time.
