Consider UFE first: If you're having significant symptoms from fibroids (exs. heavy periods, pelvic pain, increased urinary frequency) and want to avoid surgery, and keep your uterus (why wouldn't you?) consider Uterine Fibroid Embolization. It is non-surgical, outpatient procedure performed by Interventional Radiologist. Patients discharged same day with just a bandaid, 5-7 day recovery. Learn more at atlii.com.
