Struggling with Heavy Periods? Understanding Fibroids & UFE Treatment

RIVEA Vascular Institute | 10 April 2026

Uterine fibroids are a common cause of heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and abdominal discomfort, often linked to hormonal changes or genetics.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided treatment that blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink and symptoms to improve over time.

UFE is a safe, effective, and globally accepted alternative to surgery, performed by interventional radiology specialists.
