Can UFE be performed multiples times?

Yes – in certain cases, Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) can be performed more than once. UFE works by blocking the blood supply to existing fibroids, causing them to shrink. However, it does not prevent new fibroids from developing in the future. If new fibroids grow and begin causing symptoms, a repeat procedure may be considered. That said, needing a second UFE is uncommon. Most women experience long-term relief after a single treatment. If you have been diagnosed and would like to learn more about UFE, visit our website.
