UFE is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink and die.
Over time, the fibroids shrink and symptoms improve — often dramatically.
Fibroids can range from small, symptom-free growths to large masses causing significant problems. Common symptoms include:
Our specialists review your symptoms, imaging, and medical history.
Performed in our advanced outpatient vascular lab under sedation and local anesthesia.
Most women go home the same day with pain medicine and follow-up instructions.
Fibroids begin to shrink within weeks, with continued improvement over several months.
Heavy periods. Pelvic pain. Frequent urination. If you’re living with symptoms caused by uterine fibroids, you’re not alone. Fibroids affect up to 70% of women by age 50, and while they’re not cancerous, they can dramatically affect quality of life.
At Premier Vascular, our board-certified vascular surgeons offer Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) — a safe, minimally invasive procedure that shrinks fibroids, relieves symptoms, and preserves your uterus. Serving women across Macon and Central Georgia, we’re here to provide advanced treatment options beyond traditional surgery.
UFE is an option for women who:
Some women experience cramping for a few days after the procedure, but it’s usually well managed with medication.
UFE preserves the uterus, but fertility after UFE varies. It’s generally recommended for women who are not planning pregnancy.
The procedure typically takes 60–90 minutes, with most patients going home the same day.
Fibroids treated with UFE do not return. However, new fibroids can develop, especially in younger women.
Yes. UFE is considered a medically necessary procedure and is covered by Medicare and most insurance plans.
UFE avoids major surgery, preserves the uterus, and has a quicker recovery. It is a strong alternative for women who want relief without hysterectomy.
If uterine fibroids are disrupting your life, you don’t have to settle for hysterectomy as your only option. At Premier Vascular, we offer Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) — a minimally invasive treatment that relieves symptoms and restores quality of life.
