Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths of the uterus that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms, frequent urination, and infertility in some women.
Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink and relieving symptoms while preserving the uterus.
