Empowering Women’s Journey to Fibroid Relief
Fight Fibroids with UFE
Alate Health is a premiere destination for cutting-edge interventional radiology solutions like UFE, also known as Uterine Artery Embolization. UFE is a minimally invasive procedure that targets uterine fibroids directly at their source. During the procedure, our skilled interventional radiologists use advanced imaging technology to guide a tiny catheter into the blood vessels supplying the fibroids. Once in place, small particles are injected to block these vessels, cutting off the fibroids’ blood supply. The fibroids then shrink, providing you with relief from your symptoms.
At Alate Health, our experienced team of interventional radiologists and dedicated medical staff are committed to providing compassionate care and personalized treatment plans for each patient. We understand that dealing with fibroids can be challenging, and we are here to guide you through every step of your UFE journey.
Making an Informed Choice
Making an informed choice between Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) and surgery is vital for optimal fibroid treatment. UFE offers advantages like shorter recovery times and preserving the uterus. At Alate Health, our expert team will guide you through this process, providing compassionate support and personalized care to empower your decision-making and ensure a fibroid-free future.
