Gynocological

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that develop within the muscular wall of the uterus.  They are extremely common.  Twenty to 40 percent of women over the age of 35 have uterine fibroids.  Over 50 percent of African American women have fibroids.  They are the most frequent indication for hysterectomy in premenopausal women.  Of the 600,000 hysterectomies performed annually within the United States, one third are due to symptomatic fibroids.  Now there is a proven, non-surgical alternative to hysterectomy for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids, uterine fibroid embolization (UFE).
