Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure to reduce fibroid symptoms. It’s offered at Anadolu Medical Center in Istanbul, Turkey. The price for a comprehensive UFE package starts at 12,500 EUR. Anadolu is the first hospital in Turkey to receive JCI accreditation, ensuring high safety standards.
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus. They can cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and frequent urination. UFE is a technique that blocks blood flow to the fibroids. This causes them to shrink and reduces symptoms. The procedure is performed by an interventional radiologist.
What to Expect During UFE
UFE is a same-day procedure. It doesn’t require a large incision. A small cut is made, usually in the wrist or groin. A catheter is guided through blood vessels to the fibroids. Small particles are released to block blood flow.
The UFE package at Anadolu Medical Center includes a two-night hospital stay in a regular room. It also includes accommodation for an accompanying person. Before the procedure, you will have essential tests. These tests include blood work and potentially a pelvic MRI. The package covers exams, doctor visits, and procedure-related materials.
