Understanding Uterine Fibroid Ablation

Uterine fibroid ablation is a minimally-invasive treatment that uses heat (often via radiofrequency) to destroy small fibroids, avoiding open surgery. Recovery typically takes about 4–10 days, and most women experience symptom relief within months. However, ablation is generally suitable only for small fibroids. In contrast, Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) a core focus at USA Fibroid Centers uses a catheter to block blood flow to fibroids, treats fibroids of any size, and is proven to be nearly 90% effective at reducing symptoms.
