Alternatives we don’t recommend
Hormonal treatment
Helps manage symptoms but don’t shrink fibroids and require ongoing use with potential side effects.
Myomectomy
Removes fibroids but comes with surgical risks and a chance of regrowth.
Hysterectomy
It involves partial or total removal of the uterus, making it a definitive treatment, requires major surgery and a long recovery.
Endometrial Ablation
Only helps with bleeding, not fibroid removal, and isn’t an option for women wanting future pregnancies.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Is minimally invasive but not suitable for all fibroids, with limited long-term data on effectiveness.
Acupuncture (Holistic)
No reliable clinical evidence that it works for fibroid control. May help the symptoms, but fibroids remain untreated.
As fibroid experts our goal is to give women more options, better results, and a lifetime free of fibroid pain

Fibroids FAQ
How are fibroids diagnosed?
What are the common types of fibroids?
Intramural Fibroids: Develop within the muscular wall of the uterus.
Submucosal Fibroids: Protrude into the uterine cavity.
Subserosal Fibroids: Extend to the outside of the uterus.
Each type can affect uterine function differently and may influence symptom severity and treatment options.
Can fibroids lead to cancer?
Does UFE treatment affect fertility?
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is generally considered safe for fertility. Many women have been able to conceive after the procedure. However, every patient is unique, and the effects of UFE on fertility may vary depending on individual circumstances.
