Trusted Treatment, Proven Results: Why More Women Are Choosing UFE at Richmond Vascular Center
At Richmond Vascular Center, we’ve been helping women take control of fibroid symptoms for years through Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)—a safe, minimally invasive alternative to surgery. Now, the largest study of its kind has confirmed what our patients have known all along: UFE works.
If you’ve been living with heavy periods, pelvic pain, cramps or bloating caused by uterine fibroids, UFE could be the solution you’ve been searching for.
What Is UFE?
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a non-surgical procedure that blocks blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink. At Richmond Vascular Center, we’ve performed this procedure on countless women with outstanding results—all in a comfortable, outpatient setting with no hospital stay.
A National Study Confirms What Our Patients Already Know
A 2025 landmark study followed over 1,200 women who received UFE and found:
- 96% experienced reduced heavy menstrual bleeding
- 94% had relief from pelvic pain and fatigue
- 92% saw improvement in urinary symptoms
- 85% felt more energetic and emotionally well
- 82% became more physically active
- 71% noted improved sexual health
- 86% reported a better overall quality of life
“The results echoed what we’ve seen in our practice for years—UFE offers real relief and gives women their lives back.”
—Dr. Adam McLaurin, Richmond Vascular Center
