UFE vs. Hysterectomy : Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) and hysterectomy are two treatment options for uterine fibroids. UFE is a minimally invasive procedure that targets fibroids while preserving the uterus, whereas hysterectomy involves surgical removal of the uterus. Understanding the differences in procedure, recovery time, risks, and long-term outcomes can help patients make an informed treatment decision.
