What is Uterine Artery Embolization?

--

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive treatment used to stop severe pelvic bleeding. The cause of such bleeding can be uterine fibroids (noncancerous tumors within the uterus), trauma, malignant (cancerous) gynecological tumors, or hemorrhage following childbirth, among other conditions.
