At our Uterine Fibroid Center on Flatbush Avenue, our doctors specialize in treating fibroids with uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), also known as uterine artery embolization or UAE. UFE is an FDA-approved fibroid treatment that can be performed on an outpatient basis. It works by stopping their supply of blood, causing them to shrink and die. The tissue is then safely reabsorbed by the body.
