Chances are, you know someone who has battled uterine fibroids – abnormal, benign growths within the muscles of the uterus that can cause painful, heavy menstrual bleeding, constipation and lower back pain. After all, at least 25 percent of women in the U.S. between the ages of 25 and 50 suffer fibroids, with the percentage almost doubling among African American women, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Up until a few decades ago, women with fibroids faced with only one treatment option – a hysterectomy. But thanks to further research and advanced technology, less radical options are now available, including the noninvasive, uterus-saving uterine artery embolization. Here is a closer look at that procedure, as well as more info on fighting fibroids.

Despite 600,000 hysterectomies, fibroids remain the number one reason women undergo surgery. While removal of the uterus may be the best treatment, uterine artery embolization may be a non-surgical option for many women with symptomatic fibroids. Dr. Lauren Streicher speaks with Dr. Bruce McLucas, clinical professor in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at UCLA, to discuss candidate evaluation for a successful uterine artery fibroid embolization, and the efficacy of gynecologists in performing the procedure.
