Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) Treatment in Fort Worth
Non-Surgical Relief from Uterine Fibroid Symptoms
Uterine Fibroid Embolization Treatment
Uterine fibroids affect up to 70-80% of women by age 50. For many, they cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, bloating, and fatigue. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink and easing symptoms, without major surgery. Clinical studies have shown:
- Approximately 85-90% of patients report significant improvement bleeding, pain, and pressure symptoms after UFE.
- Most patients resume normal activities within 7-10 days following treatment.
- Preserves the uterus, making it a suitable alternative to hysterectomy for some patients.
- Covered by Medicare and most major insurance plans.

Too Many Women Are Told Surgery Is Their Only Option
Every year, large numbers of women in the United States undergo hysterectomies for uterine fibroids, even though many may be eligible for less invasive options like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). Research shows that hysterectomy remains the most frequently performed treatment for fibroid-related symptoms. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a safe, effective alternative shown to provide lasting symptom relief, faster recovery, and fewer complications than surgery in appropriately selected patients.
At Vascular Centers of Texas, we believe women deserve access to every treatment option, and the opportunity to choose procedures that fit their goals, preserve their uterus, and supports a quicker return to normal life.
