Keep your uterus. Get fibroid relief.

Uterine fibroid embolization offers nonsurgical relief. Now available in Greenville, North Carolina.

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE)


Eastern North Carolina Surgery Center located in Greenville, NC, specializes  in treating fibroids using a minimally invasive, nonsurgical procedure called UFE. UFE is a minimally invasive procedure for uterine fibroids. It safely and effectively shrinks fibroids by blocking the blood flow to the fibroids. It is the most effective, nonsurgical, and least invasive way to treat symptoms related to fibroids.

For women with mild to severe symptoms including heavy menstrual bleeding, low energy, bloating, pain in your lower stomach, or frequent urination, you may be a candidate for UFE instead of going through a surgical treatment, like a hysterectomy.

Benefits of UFE

  • Same-day procedure, no overnight stay—no incisions, so it does not cause scarring
  • Faster recovery and reduced risk compared to surgery
  • Can treat multiple fibroids, of all sizes and locations, at one time

Unlike a hysterectomy, you get to keep your uterus, which serves many structural functions for your pelvic floor. With UFE, you may still have the option for pregnancy and it can also be done after menopause.
