How do I know if I am a candidate for uterine fibroid embolization?
Whether or not a patient is a candidate for UFE depends on the exact size, number and location of the fibroids as well as the patient’s symptoms. A detailed medical history and pelvic MRI are necessary prior to making a final determination. The ideal candidate is a patient who no longer desires fertility, has multiple small to medium size fibroids and whose primary clinical symptom is heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia).
