Many women seek uterine fibroid embolization as non-invasive treatment for fibroids, unaware of the risks and limitations of this procedure. Although UFE is a good approach to control bleeding, in younger patients the long-term control of fibroids is very limited as additional fibroids can grow or the fibroid that was embolized can reestablish blood supply. Women who are considering embolization and still want to conceive should reconsider the approach as it can affect implantation of the embryo into the lining of the uterus, where the baby grows.
To find out more about what women need to consider before getting UFE, see this recent article on Dr. Paul MacKoul's Wordpress blog: Think Twice Before Getting UFE To Treat Fibroids
