If an individual is experiencing problematic symptoms caused by uterine fibroids, it is best to select a treatment option that will provide optimal results for their unique case.
A uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) possesses many benefits over traditional surgeries. Many women prefer UFE due to the fact that it is much less invasive than a myomectomy or hysterectomy, which provides a better outlook for those who wish to remain fertile.
The entire process for a uterine fibroid embolization is really quite simple, though there are a few ways that you can best prepare for the procedure in the days leading up to it.
It is very important that you relay any and all necessary information to Dr. Handley prior to your UFE procedure. Among the most important topics to cover are:
Your doctor is likely to recommend that you stop taking certain blood thinners prior to the uterine fibroid embolization. All patients are also required to stop eating and drinking after midnight on the evening before their UFE.
It is imperative that you follow all guidelines given to you by North Texas Fibroids to ensure optimal results from your uterine fibroid embolization.
