In Israel, the most gentle method for removing uterine fibroids is widely practiced — uterine artery embolization (UAE).
A catheter is inserted through the femoral artery, reaching the arteries that supply the fibroid.
A drug is introduced that blocks the vessels supplying the tumor. Occlusion occurs. The fibroid is deprived of blood supply and gradually ceases to exist.
After UAE, the reproductive function and normal hormonal background of the woman are fully preserved.
