Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure to shrink noncancerous tumors in the uterus called uterine fibroids. A Fluoroscopy (Imaging technique) is done to trace and examine uterine fibroids. This procedure shrinks fibroids by blocking their blood supply. A doctor injects tiny microscopic particles into the arteries that block the supply of blood to the fibroids. Once the blood supply is restricted, the fibroids in the uterus begin to shrink.
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that appear during the woman’s childbearing years.

It's important to note that many women with uterine fibroids have no symptoms and may not require treatment. However, if symptoms are present, treatment options may include medication, surgery, or other procedures to shrink or remove the fibroids.
