Monmouth Medical Center is the first hospital
in Monmouth and Ocean counties to introduce uterine fibroid
embolization (UFE), a procedure that shrinks fibroid tumors
by blocking their blood supply. Fibroids draw blood directly
from the uterine artery, and through UFE, these growths are “starved” by
blocking the blood flow to the fibrous tissue. The procedure
has been performed for more than 20 years for nonfibroid
procedures including postpartum or postoperative bleeding,
ectopic pregnancy and pelvic artery malformations.
It has benefited thousands of women around
the world, and a growing body of international medical research
indicates that UFE is a viable and highly successful treatment
alternative to hysterectomy and other surgical and nonsurgical
treatment options. The Department of Radiology at Monmouth
Medical Center recognizes the need to offer the most-advanced
diagnostic and treatment options, and is dedicated to providing
the latest techniques, such as UFE.
