What to expect post UFE

A Uterine Fibroid Embolisation requires only an overnight hospital stay ๐Ÿ™ Providing significant relief from fibroids-related symptoms, hereโ€™s what you can expect post-procedure:

๐ŸŒธ Bleeding from the uterus stops almost immediately.

๐ŸŒธ After the procedure, there is a dull ache in the lower abdomen. This is similar to bad period pain which is why we admit patients overnight for pain control.

๐ŸŒธ Improving by the next day, this pain is easily controlled with medication and disappears over a short period of time.

๐ŸŒธ The skin incision used to perform the embolisation is so small that there is no need for stitches and is almost invisible within a few weeks.

๐ŸŒธ Patients will go home as soon as they are comfortable and pain-free the day after the procedure
