Removing Uterine Fibroids in Women Over 60

When fibroids cause pain or other problems, doctors traditionally recommend hysterectomies to remove the uterus and more than 200,000 hysterectomies are performed each year for this. Menopause doesn't shrink fibroids. Uterine artery embolization or UAE is safe, simple, cost-effective, with no lengthy hospital stays, symptom relief is immediate and no cutting, general anesthesia and less downtime keep your uterus, too.
