Are you looking for a non-surgical fibroid treatment that helps you avoid hysterectomy or major surgery? At Curis Life Clinic, Andheri West, we offer Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) — also known as Fibroid Artery Embolization (UAE) — a minimally invasive fibroid procedure that reduces fibroid size and controls symptoms by cutting off blood supply to fibroids. Our expert interventional radiologists use advanced radiological embolization techniques to deliver effective fibroid therapy, helping you reclaim a life without heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or fibroid discomfort.
If you’ve been searching for fibroid treatment without surgery in Mumbai, or want a uterine artery embolization near me, Curis Life is your local, compassionate, and capable centre in Andheri West.
What is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) — also referred to as Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) or Fibroid Artery Embolization — is a minimally invasive fibroid procedure in which blood flow to uterine fibroids is blocked, causing them to shrink over time. Instead of removing fibroids surgically (myomectomy or hysterectomy), UFE uses small particles or embolic agents introduced via a catheter into the uterine arteries, resulting in fibroid ischemia and size reduction.
This radiological fibroid embolization is effective for:
- Symptomatic fibroids causing heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms
- Multiple fibroids or fibroids located deep within the uterus
- Patients wanting to preserve the uterus and avoid surgery
- Women seeking short recovery time and minimal downtime.
Symptoms and Conditions
Fibroids can cause a variety of symptoms and complications. Uterine Fibroid Embolization addresses:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding and prolonged periods
- Pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort
- Pelvic fullness or heaviness
- Urinary frequency or constipation (due to fibroid pressure on bladder or bowel)
- Anemia from chronic blood loss
- Fibroid-related infertility issues (in some cases)
- Enlarged uterus or abdominal bulge due to fibroid growth
If you’re living with such symptoms, UFE offers a non-surgical way to relieve pain, reduce bleeding, and shrink fibroids — improving your quality of life.
Causes and Why Fibroids Grow
Fibroids (benign uterine tumors) develop due to a combination of factors:
- Hormonal influences (estrogen and progesterone) especially during reproductive years
- Genetic predisposition or family history of fibroids
- Growth of blood supply feeding fibroids (arterial blood flow) — which keeps them growing
- Possibly lifestyle, metabolism or other internal factors influencing uterine wall changes
By targeting the blood supply to fibroids, UFE offers a direct way to stop their growth and shrink them — without removing the uterus.
Diagnosis
Before recommending UFE, our team performs a thorough evaluation including:
- Pelvic ultrasound (transabdominal or transvaginal) — to assess fibroid size, location, and number
- MRI pelvis (if needed) — for detailed fibroid mapping
- Blood tests & hemoglobin levels — especially if heavy bleeding or anemia is present
- Detailed gynecological evaluation and history review — to confirm symptoms and suitability
- Counseling with our interventional radiologist & gynecology team — to decide best approach and explain procedure benefits and risks
This ensures that your fibroid artery embolization plan is precise, safe, and tailored to your needs.
The UFE Procedure — What to Expect
- The procedure is done under local anesthesia (or light sedation).
- A small catheter is inserted, usually through the groin artery, and guided to the uterine arteries under imaging.
- Embolic particles are delivered to block blood flow to fibroids — causing them to shrink.
- The treatment typically lasts 30–60 minutes, and is a day-care or short-stay procedure.
- After a short observation period, most patients return home within 24–48 hours.
Compared to open surgery, UFE is less invasive, involves no large incisions, and provides shorter recovery times — ideal for busy lives, working women, or those with surgical concerns.
Precision Medicine
At Curis Life, we apply a precision medicine approach even in fibroid care. That means we:
- Use imaging and diagnostic data to map fibroid size, number, and vascular supply accurately
- Consider your overall health, reproductive plans, anemia status, and lifestyle
- Customize the embolization strategy — choosing appropriate embolic agents, dosage, and follow-up plan
- Provide post-procedure monitoring, follow-up imaging, counseling, and individualized care for complete recovery
This ensures effective fibroid shrinkage, symptom relief, and minimal side-effects — delivered in a patient-first, personalized way.
Recovery, Expectations & Post-Procedure Care
- Most women experience mild discomfort or cramping for a few days — manageable with pain relief medication
- Return to light activity in 2–3 days, full activity in 1–2 weeks (depending on individual recovery)
- Expect gradual reduction in fibroid size over weeks to a few months, with improvement in bleeding and pelvic symptoms
- Follow-up ultrasound or MRI recommended at intervals to monitor shrinking fibroids
- Lifestyle advice on nutrition, anemia management if needed, and general uterine health
Because UFE is a minimally invasive, uterus-sparing treatment, many patients regain normal life quickly — without hospital stays or long recovery.
