Get Fibroid Relief with UFE

Fibroids are benign tumors which can cause symptoms such as excessive bleeding, pain, frequent urination, constipation & bloating. At least 25 percent of women in the U.S.have fibroids. African American women are more likely to develop fibroids.

Research indicates that the leading cause of a Hysterectomy here in the US is due to Fibroids. A surgery that maybe unnecessary for a benign condition. Today, women have fibroid treatment options that often go unmentioned, such as, Uterine Fibroid Embolization or UFE. UFE is a safe and effective way to treat fibroids and provide symptom relief ~ without surgery or long recovery time. Click here to read more about UFE.

One Women’s Story

On this particular day, Angela was standing at her car
pumping gas when she felt something trickle down her legs. To her horror, it was bright red streaks
of blood! She knew immediately what had happened. For some time she had suffered with uterine fibroids and the exceptionally heavy periods that accompany this condition. Angela knew what it was like to cancel
appointments, take time off work, or plan activities according to her cycle. She thought she had things
handled on this day, but the unexpected was always a possibility. In tears, she jumped into her car—by now, drenching the leather seats.

“I knew then how badly I needed help,” says Angela.
“This was affecting my life so much that I was actually
becoming depressed.” Angela had determined that she did not want a hysterectomy, so she was searching out her options when she heard about a seminar on Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), a non-surgical procedure for the treatment of uterine fibroids. The seminar was presented by John Lipman, M.D.,
F.S.I.R., a nationally recognized fibroid expert and physician at Emory-Adventist Hospital.

Take It from Angela Kimbrough. She knows! “Dr. Lipman was a Godsend,” she says. “I now live an active and healthy life. I actually have my life back.” Read More
