The most fibroid treatment options of any hospital in Chicago
Do you or your family members suffer with symptomatic uterine fibroids? Do you suffer in silence? Symptoms of uterine fibroids include heavy bleeding, painful periods, pelvic pressure, frequent urination, pain during intercourse and lower back pain.
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that grow in the uterus (womb). At least 35 percent of women in the U.S. have fibroids.
The Fibroid Treatment Center at The University of Chicago offers the most fibroid treatment options of any hospital in Chicago. We specialize in non-surgical treatment options including uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). This procedure allows you to avoid surgery, requires only a one-night hospital stay, allows you to return to work in about one week, and is covered by most health insurance plans.
We are also one of only a few premier medical institutions in the entire country that is participating in the SOFIA trial -- an FDA approved study to compare the safety and clinical effectiveness of a completely non-invasive MRI-HIFU fibroid therapy system.
