Uterine Fibroid Embolization
Uterine Fibroid Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a thin catheter through a small needle in the groin area. This needle delivers microspheres (small beads) into the artery that feeds the fibroid, blocking the blood supply and causing the fibroid to shrink.
