About Uterine Artery Embolization
Fibroids are muscular tumors that grow in the walls of the uterus. While they are almost always benign, if left untreated, they can grow in both size and number causing severe cramping, bleeding, and other debilitating symptoms.
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally-invasive, uterus-saving procedure that offers quicker, easier recovery than surgery. Women in The Bahamas who have had this procedure are calling it a miracle and “life-changing”.
