Pain during sex (also known as dyspareunia) is more common than most women realize, and in many cases, uterine fibroids are the culprit. If you’re experiencing discomfort, cramping, or pressure during intimacy, it’s not something you have to live with. There’s a minimally invasive treatment option that can help: Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE).

Understanding the Link Between Fibroids and Painful Sex

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. Depending on their size and location, fibroids can cause:

●  Pain or pressure in the pelvis

●  Heavy or prolonged periods

●  Frequent urination

●  Constipation

●  Pain during intercourse

Fibroids located near the cervix or within the uterine wall can make sex painful and emotionally distressing. If you’re dealing with these symptoms, it’s time to explore your treatment options.

What is UFE?

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure that treats fibroids by cutting off their blood supply. This causes them to shrink and symptoms to subside—without the need for a hysterectomy.

Benefits of UFE:

●  No surgical incision

●  Short recovery time (usually 7-10 days)

●  Preserves the uterus.

●  Effective relief from symptoms, including pain during sex.
