WHAT ARE FIBROIDS?

• Uterine fibroids are the most common benign
  (non-cancerous) tumors within the female
  reproductive system.
• A fibroid starts as a normal muscle cell in the
  uterus. For unknown reasons, this single cell
  grows and multiplies into a cluster of cells that
  form the fibroid.
• Fibroids are stimulated to grow by estrogen (a
  hormone produce by the ovaries) and blood flow.
  Blocking the blood flow can make the fibroid
  shrink.

RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPING FIBROIDS

  fibroids.

• Alcohol consumption. Women who had one or more
  drinks of alcohol per day, specifically beer, had

UTERINE FIBROID EMBOLIZATION (UFE) TREATMENT

• "During UFE the blood supply to the fibroid is
  blocked."
• Uterine fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a
  nonsurgical permanent treatment for fibroids.
• Compared to the surgical options, UFE results in
  fewer complications, a shorter hospital stay and
  a far quicker recovery time
• At VidaVascular, our physicians are among the
  most experienced in the entire region at
