Hormonal Changes After Fibroid Embolization
- Details
- by: admin
Want to avoid the hormonal swings associated with traditional fibroid surgeries? Look to UFE!
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a non-surgical procedure that cuts off the blood supply to the fibroids. The procedure does not include the ovaries in the process, which means that the ovaries are often not affected by the procedure.
There are very few accounts of women that experience hormonal changes as a result of UFE, with the exception of the small percentage of women that experience early menopause as a result of the procedure. Most women will not experience hormonal changes or depression, both of which are common with hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) patients. Women that are approaching the age of menopause, however, may be more likely to start menopause after UFE.
