Uterine Fibroids Overview
What are Fibroids?
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus, or womb. Fibroids develop from the smooth muscular tissue of the womb. They may grow slowly or quickly, or they may simply stay the same size. However, if they get too large, they may start causing the painful and life-altering symptoms listed above.
Who Can Get Fibroids?
Fibroids are very common. As many as 3 out of 4 women will develop fibroids during their lifetimes. Most are unaware they have fibroids. Sometimes, doctors will accidentally discover fibroids during a routine pelvic or pregnancy exam. A doctor may recommend a patient to a specialist to treat uterine fibroids.
Diagnosing Uterine Fibroids
The specialists at Fibroid Institute Texas are experts at accurately and quickly diagnosing fibroids. Telehealth options are available. After reviewing your medical history and discussing your symptoms at your consultation appointment, an ultrasound imaging test will determine whether or not you have fibroids. In some cases, you may also need an MRI.
Our practice is 100% focused on fibroids. Experience matters.
Why Consider UFE?
Hysterectomy, myomectomy, and other surgeries aren’t your only option for treating painful fibroid symptoms. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a safe and effective procedure that allows you to keep your uterus intact and get back to normal activities in about a week. Contact Fibroid Institute and speak with our highly experienced fibroid specialists, so you can be certain you’re in expert hands.
UFE may be right for you if:
You want to avoid surgery
You want to keep your uterus
Getting pregnant is not your top priority
You’re having fibroid pain and other fibroid symptoms
You need a shorter recovery time
How Will UFE Meet Your Needs?
Patient Preferred
Uterine Fibroid Embolization stops blood supply feeding the fibroids so it is unnecessary to remove the uterus. This state-of-the-art procedure requires no surgery, no incision, and no vaginal access.
Minimally Invasive
While the patient is given medication to feel sleepy and comfortable, UFE is done through a puncture the size of a grain of rice. It heals with no scarring.
Quick Recovery
The recovery time is just 7-10 days, shorter than fibroid surgeries like hysterectomy or myomectomy, so you can get back to your life quickly and with less pain.
UFE Is Covered by Most Insurances
The procedure is covered by most major medical insurance plans, including Medicare. Our team will verify your provider, coordinate preauthorizations, and guide you through every step.
