Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) Treatment in Lucknow
Advanced Non-Surgical Fibroid Treatment By Dr. Vrishit Saraswat
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus and commonly affect women during their reproductive years. While many fibroids remain asymptomatic, larger or multiple fibroids can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms, infertility issues, and reduced quality of life.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is an advanced minimally invasive procedure that treats fibroids without major surgery or removal of the uterus.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Welcome to Dr. Vrishit Saraswat Radiology Practice
Uterine fibroids are benign muscular tumors that grow within or around the uterus. Fibroids can vary in size and number and may cause significant symptoms depending on their location.
Fibroids are extremely common and may affect women differently.

Common Symptoms of Fibroids
Women with uterine fibroids may experience:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Prolonged periods

- Lower abdominal swelling
- Frequent urination
- Constipation
- Pain during intercourse
- Fatigue due to anemia
- Difficulty conceiving in some cases
If fibroids interfere with daily life, medical evaluation is recommended.
What Is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (also called Uterine Artery Embolization) is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional radiologist to shrink fibroids by blocking their blood supply.
During the procedure:
- A tiny catheter is inserted through a small puncture in the wrist or groin
- Under imaging guidance, the blood vessels supplying fibroids are identified
- Special embolic particles are injected to block blood flow
- Fibroids gradually shrink over time
The uterus is preserved, and no major surgical cuts are required.
Benefits of Uterine Fibroid Embolization
Non-Surgical Treatment
UFE avoids major surgery and does not require removal of the uterus.
Uterus Preservation
The procedure allows women to preserve their uterus while treating symptomatic fibroids.
Faster Recovery
Most patients recover significantly faster compared to traditional surgery.
Minimal Scarring
Only a tiny puncture is required instead of large incisions.
Reduced Hospital Stay
Most patients can return home within a short period after treatment.
Effective Symptom Relief
UFE helps reduce:
- Heavy bleeding
- Pelvic pressure
- Pain and discomfort
- Fibroid size
Recovery After UFE
Most women experience gradual symptom improvement over weeks to months as fibroids shrink.
Recovery benefits include:
- Early mobilization
- Shorter downtime
- Faster return to work
- Reduced post-procedure discomfort
Patients are usually advised to follow post-procedure instructions carefully for optimal recovery.
