Can UFE Treat A Very Large Uterus With Multiple Fibroids?

During a UFE procedure, tiny particles are injected into the uterine arteries which float downstream and shut off the blood supply to the fibroids. Once they lose their blood supply, the fibroids shrink to about a third of their original size. Reduction in the overall size of the fibroids and uterus usually takes around three months and sometimes even up to six months depending on the original size of the fibroids.   If a patient with a very large uterus has a primary concern of regaining a flat belly, hysterectomy is a more direct route. Most patients usually say that is not the primary concern. Hysterectomy for a large uterus will usually require a midline vertical incision in the abdomen. Almost all patients have been happy with the reduction in bulk following UFE, but it will take time.
