A clinically proven, minimally invasive treatment for uterine fibroids.
UFE shrinks fibroids without surgery, without hysterectomy, and without removing your uterus. Performed by Dr. Pradyumna Reddy, Interventional Radiologist, Hyderabad — helping women recover faster with no major operation.
Uterine Fibroid Embolisation — also called Uterine Artery Embolisation (UAE) — is a minimally invasive interventional radiology procedure that treats uterine fibroids by cutting off their blood supply, causing them to shrink naturally over time.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus that affect millions of women. They can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged periods, pelvic pain, pressure, bloating, and urinary symptoms.
Performed by Dr. Pradyumna Reddy, Interventional Radiologist in Hyderabad, UFE is done through a tiny puncture at the wrist or groin — with no major surgery and no uterus removal.
A safer, faster, uterus-preserving alternative to fibroid surgery.
No abdominal incision or major operation.
No hysterectomy. Your uterus stays intact.
Back to normal life within 7–10 days.
85–90% women report major symptom relief.
MRI or ultrasound is reviewed to assess fibroids and uterine blood supply.
A tiny puncture is made without abdominal incision or stitches.
Under live X-ray guidance, the catheter reaches the uterine arteries.
Microspheres block blood flow to fibroids while preserving healthy tissue.
Fibroids shrink progressively over 3–6 months with symptom relief.
UFE may be suitable for women experiencing heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain, bloating, urinary symptoms, or multiple fibroids.
Compare minimally invasive UFE with traditional fibroid surgeries.
