Advanced Fibroid Care in Bronx, NY

Living with uterine fibroids can make everyday life uncomfortable and unpredictable. Heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating, and frequent urination are common symptoms that can interfere with work, sleep, and daily activities. At Swift Vein and Vascular, Dr. Pradeep Goyal provides advanced, minimally invasive solutions designed to relieve symptoms without major surgery.

Our practice specializes in uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), a highly effective treatment that targets fibroids directly by blocking the blood supply that allows them to grow. This innovative uterine fibroid embolization procedure can shrink fibroids, reduce symptoms, and help patients return to normal life faster than traditional surgical options.

If you are looking for a non-surgical alternative to hysterectomy, our team is here to help you explore your options with compassionate, personalized care.

What are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop within or around the uterus. They affect millions of women, especially during their reproductive years. Fibroids vary in size and number, and while some women experience no symptoms, others may struggle with severe discomfort and heavy menstrual bleeding.

Fibroids are influenced by hormonal and vascular factors. Increased blood flow helps fibroids continue to grow, which is why treatments like uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) are so effective. By targeting the blood vessels feeding the fibroids, UFE helps shrink them naturally over time.

Common Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

Symptoms of fibroids can range from mild to severe and may include:

Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
Pelvic pain or pressure
Frequent urination
Constipation or bloating
Pain during intimacy
Fatigue caused by anemia from heavy blood loss

If fibroid symptoms are affecting your quality of life, UFE, or uterine fibroid embolization, may offer lasting relief without the need for surgery.

What Is the Uterine Fibroid Embolization Procedure?

The uterine fibroid embolization procedure is a minimally invasive treatment performed by an interventional radiologist. During the procedure, a tiny catheter is inserted through a small incision, usually in the wrist or groin. Small particles are then guided into the arteries supplying blood to the fibroids, blocking circulation and causing the fibroids to shrink.

Unlike hysterectomy or myomectomy, uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) does not require large incisions or removal of the uterus. Most patients return home the same day. They can expect to experience a shorter recovery period when compared to traditional surgical procedures.

Benefits of UFE Treatment

Women choose uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) because it offers several advantages, including:

Minimally invasive treatment
No large surgical incisions
Faster recovery time
Reduced pain and scarring
Preservation of the uterus
Long-term symptom relief

Many patients notice significant improvement in heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, and discomfort within weeks to months after treatment. Reviewing before and after uterine fibroid embolization results can help patients better understand the potential improvements in quality of life and symptom relief.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization Recovery

One of the major advantages of UFE is the shorter recovery process. Most women experience mild cramping, fatigue, or flu-like symptoms for a few days after treatment. Typical uterine fibroid embolization recovery allows patients to resume light activities within several days and return to normal routines within 1–2 weeks.

Our experienced team provides detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support throughout recovery to ensure patients feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.
