Is UFE the Right Choice?
There are many factors to consider when deciding if UFE is a viable option for your treatment. Are you uncomfortable with surgical procedures? Do you typically have complications such as excessive bleeding during surgery? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you may wish to consider UFE. Uterine fibroid embolization is ideal for women who:
- Want to retain their uterus or avoid a hysterectomy
- Suffer from complications during surgery
- Are not pregnant
When you visit our clinic in Houston, TX, we’ll listen to you, get to know your medical history and give you the information you need to make an informed decision. We have years of experience helping women throughout Texas recover from fibroids, and we’re here for you when you need us.
How Will UFE Affect My Fertility?
How UFE affects pregnancy and the ability to have children has not been completely determined. There are reports that some women have become pregnant after a UFE procedure and had successful pregnancies. However, no data has established the safety of UFE, so understanding the possible complications or side effects of this treatment are important. We encourage you to speak with your doctor about all the possible treatments available to you or contact us for an initial consultation. We pride ourselves on ensuring the well-being and safety of all our patients and offering treatment options that are safe and effective.
Possible Complications
of UFE
UFE is an increasingly popular, minimally invasive procedure for eliminating fibroids and fibroid-related symptoms. UFE therapy has been historically shown to cause little discomfort and a low risk of complications. However, some side effects may occur immediately following this procedure, including:
- Fever and nausea
- Some pelvic pain
- Release of fibroid tissue
- Ovarian failure or sexual dysfunction
- Other complications from radiation injury or drug reaction
Of course, in rare cases, more acute complications can occur, but for the vast majority of patients, UFE is a safe and effective treatment option. When you visit our clinic in Houston, TX, we’ll go over your medical history, get a detailed digital image of your uterus, and advise you on your options for treatment.
