Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is very successful in relieving the patient’s symptoms. Compared to hysterectomy, UAE is safer, less invasive (my patients go home the same day as the procedure with just a bandaid), shorter recovery (5-7 days), and allows women to keep their uterus ! The importance of the uterus even for women that are not interested in future fertility is under appreciated by many physicians. Losing your uterus can have significant consequences for women (psychologically, sexually, increased bone loss) and hysterectomy should be a last resort and not a first line therapy. Women with symptomatic fibroids who aren’t interested in hysterectomy need to get a second opinion from an experienced Interventional Radiologist (physicians that perform UAE).
