Are you a good candidate for UFE?
Determining if you are an ideal candidate for Uterine Fibroid Embolization involves evaluating your specific symptoms, the characteristics of your fibroids and your long-term reproductive goals.
- Symptomatic Fibroids: You experience heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure on the bladder or bowel, or an enlarged abdomen due to fibroids.
- Desire to Avoid Major Surgery: You want an alternative to a hysterectomy and prefer a shorter recovery time.
- Uterine Preservation: It is important to you to keep your uterus intact rather than having it surgically removed.
- Failed Conservative Treatments: You have tried hormonal therapies (like birth control or GnRH agonists) and they have not sufficiently managed your symptoms.
- Nonsurgical Health Profile: You are generally a good candidate for conscious sedation and do not have active pelvic infections or severe renal (kidney) failure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fibroid Treatment
Hysterectomy typically requires 4-8 weeks of recovery with limited physical activity and extended time off work. UFE has a much shorter recovery period of just 5-7 days, with most women returning to normal activities within a week.
Hysterectomy carries risks including infection, blood loss, organ damage, blood clots and anesthesia complications. It also results in permanent infertility and may trigger early menopause. UFE is minimally invasive with significantly fewer risks, typically minor temporary side effects like pelvic cramping or low-grade fever, while preserving the uterus and avoiding hormonal changes.
UFE has an 85-90% success rate for significant symptom relief. The procedure effectively reduces heavy bleeding, alleviates pelvic pain and pressure, and shrinks fibroids by cutting off their blood supply. Dr. Buckner’s 3,000+ successful procedures consistently demonstrate long-lasting, life-changing results.
Unlike hysterectomy, UFE preserves the uterus, making future pregnancy possible for many women. Fertility outcomes vary based on individual factors like age and fibroid location. Dr. Buckner will discuss your specific situation and fertility goals during your consultation.
The UFE procedure takes approximately 45-60 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. You can typically go home the same day after a brief observation period, requiring only a small incision with no extended hospital stay needed.
