Empowering Women’s Journey to Fibroid Relief
Alate Health is a premiere destination for cutting-edge interventional radiology solutions like UFE, also known as Uterine Artery Embolization. UFE is a minimally invasive procedure that targets uterine fibroids directly at their source. During the procedure, our skilled interventional radiologists use advanced imaging technology to guide a tiny catheter into the blood vessels supplying the fibroids. Once in place, small particles are injected to block these vessels, cutting off the fibroids’ blood supply. The fibroids then shrink, providing you with relief from your symptoms.
At Alate Health, our experienced team of interventional radiologists and dedicated medical staff are committed to providing compassionate care and personalized treatment plans for each patient. We understand that dealing with fibroids can be challenging, and we are here to guide you through every step of your UFE journey.
Making an informed choice between Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) and surgery is vital for optimal fibroid treatment. UFE offers advantages like shorter recovery times and preserving the uterus. At Alate Health, our expert team will guide you through this process, providing compassionate support and personalized care to empower your decision-making and ensure a fibroid-free future.
Minimally Invasive Relief
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink and providing relief from symptoms. It is a non-surgical alternative that preserves the uterus, offers a shorter recovery time, and helps women regain control over their well-being.
At Alate Health, we specialize in minimally invasive treatments for uterine fibroids, offering women a safe and effective alternative to surgery. Our board-certified interventional radiologists use advanced techniques like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) to help patients experience lasting relief with minimal downtime. We prioritize compassionate care, personalized treatment plans, and state-of-the-art technology to ensure the best outcomes. From your first consultation to post-procedure follow-up, we’re committed to your comfort, health, and confidence. Choose Alate Health for expert care, proven results, and a patient-first approach that puts your well-being above all.
We aim to address the most common concerns you may have about UFE, providing you with the knowledge and confidence to take the next step towards finding lasting fibroid relief.
There is minimal pain during the procedure. Patients may experience significant cramping in the first 24 hours but this can be controlled with prescription pain medications.
UFE is highly successful, with success rates exceeding 90% in most cases.
Most patients experience symptom relief within 4 to 6 weeks after UFE, with continued improvement over the following months.
Unlike hysterectomy, the recovery time for uterine fibroid embolization is very short. Most women switch from their prescription pain medication to over-the-counter pain relief medication and are able to go back to work within 7 to 10 days.
UFE is covered by most insurances. We will confirm your benefits with your insurance prior to your appointment and let you know your financial responsibility prior to the procedure.
