UFE Doesn't Remove Fibroids--Here's What Women Aren't Being Told

WASHINGTON, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Every year, thousands of women are steered toward a fibroid treatment that doesn't actually remove fibroids. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) may sound minimally invasive but it doesn't remove fibroids; it just shrinks them, slightly, often with disappointing results. At the Center for Innovative GYN Care (CIGC), we believe women deserve the truth—and real options—before making a decision that impacts their fertility, health, and future. "UFE may shrink fibroids slightly, but it rarely makes a meaningful difference—especially with large or complex cases," said Dr. Natalya Danilyants, board-certified GYN surgeon and co-founder of CIGC. "The fibroids are still inside your body, and so are the symptoms. For many women, the pain, pressure, and bleeding continue—or even worsen—because the root problem was never removed," she added. Fibroids are very common and affect approximately 80% of women…By age 50, about 80% of women will have fibroids." THE HIDDEN COSTS OF UFE Too many women are told UFE is their best option. But here's what they're not being told: Fibroids will remain in the body after UFE—and can grow back. Fertility can be reduced due to impaired blood flow to the uterus or ovaries. Large or complex fibroids? UFE often fails to relieve symptoms or prevent repeat procedures. Coexisting conditions like endometriosis or adenomyosis go undiagnosed—because UFE can't detect or treat them. UFE may delay the treatment you actually need. PROVEN ALTERNATIVE: COMPLETE REMOVAL, FASTER RECOVERY For more than 18 years, CIGC has been providing minimally invasive outpatient procedures that fully remove fibroids—even large, complex, or multiple growths—through just two tiny incisions: LAAM® Myomectomy: A fertility-sparing surgery that could improve your chances of getting pregnant. DualPortGYN®: Our advanced laparoscopic technique for hysterectomy or fibroid removal. 7–10 day recovery at home—not weeks in pain. Both options are performed in our surgical centers by board-certified GYN surgeons—and patients are able to go home the same day and be back to work in under two weeks. ONE SURGERY. REAL ANSWERS. Unlike UFE, our surgeons can also diagnose and remove endometriosis, cysts, or adenomyosis—and send all tissue to pathology for testing. That means you leave surgery knowing what was inside your body… and what wasn't. If you've been told your fibroids are "not that bad" or pushed toward a one-size-fits-all procedure like UFE, it's time to rethink your care. Book a consultation with a gynecologic surgeon to get answers—and take control of your health. "We believe women deserve much more than symptom management. They deserve validation, compassion, and swift resolution," said Dr. Danilyants. About the Center for Innovative GYN Care CIGC is a national leader in minimally invasive GYN surgery, with advanced surgical centers serving women across the DC, Maryland, Virginia (DMV) region and New Jersey. Our reputation for excellence draws patients from across the U.S. and around the world—thanks to our groundbreaking outpatient procedures, short recovery times, and life-changing results.

Semaglutide Shows Benefits for PAD Across T2D Subgroups

CHICAGO — Use of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide improved walking capability in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), regardless of duration of diabetes, BMI, or glycemic control, a post-hoc analysis of phase 3 double-blind randomized STRIDE showed. 'PAD remains a recalcitrant problem in people living with diabetes. We need solutions for improving quality of life and preventing limb loss' said senior study author Subodh Verma, MD, PhD, a cardiovascular surgeon and professor of medicine at the University of Toronto, Canada, here at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 85th Scientific Sessions, where the results were presented. The data was simultaneously published online in Diabetes Care . About 230 million people globally — and up to a third of those with diabetes — have PAD, which is why the ADA recommends using ankle-brachial index testing in individuals with T2D who are over 65 and meet certain criteria. The STRIDE Study STRIDE was conducted at 112 sites in 20 countries, enrolling 792 patients aged 18 years and older with T2D and PAD with intermittent claudication and reduced ankle-brachial or toe-brachial index. The median age was 68 years, the mean diabetes duration was 13.3 years, and 195 (25%) participants were female and 597 (75%) were male. Patients were randomized to subcutaneous semaglutide 1 mg per week for 52 weeks (n = 396) or to placebo (n = 396). The primary analysis of the trial, presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session 2025 in March, showed that semaglutide significantly improved walking distance, pain, and quality of life in patients with symptomatic PAD and T2D. It was also associated with reductions in disease progression and use of rescue therapy and improvement in ankle-brachial index. At baseline, trial participants could walk a maximum of 184 m, and the pain-free walking distance was 119 m. Two-thirds of the individuals said PAD moderately-to-severely impacted quality of life. At week 52, patients taking once-weekly semaglutide had a roughly 40-m improvement in maximum walking distance, and a 30-m improvement in pain-free walking distance on a treadmill with a fixed speed of 3.2 kph (2.3 mph) and fixed inclination of 12%, when compared with placebo. For the current analysis, the researchers stratified the participants by baseline T2D characteristics. The mean BMI was 29.6; 41% had a BMI > 30, and 44% had A1C < 7%. Only a third used insulin and a third used an SGLT2 inhibitor. Their analysis showed no meaningful distinction between the subgroups for improvement in either maximum walking distance or pain-free walking distance, said lead author Neda Rasouli, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, at the meeting. The estimated treatment ratio favored semaglutide regardless of diabetes duration, BMI, A1C, or medication used, she added. These findings support semaglutide's 'consistent efficacy and safety profile across the spectrum of type 2 diabetes, including those who are non-obese and have well-controlled diabetes,' she concluded. Vascular Medications 'This was a really important study,' said Kim Eagle, MD, the Albion Walter Hewlett professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan, when asked to comment by Medscape Medical News . Eagle said that while the additional 40 m of walking distance might not seem huge, it could be meaningful for a golfer, for instance, who could walk that much further to their ball, without a golf cart. 'We're still learning about the effects of GLP-1s,' said Eagle, who is also director of the Frankel Cardiovascular Center at the University of Michigan. 'They clearly affect vascular function,' he said, adding that the effects in PAD would be expected for the entire class. 'The thesis here is that these are vascular medications,' said Verma, noting in a briefing with reporters that patients had an improvement in hemodynamics. The improvement is not driven by changes in weight or A1C, he added. Given the results of STRIDE and the post-hoc analysis, 'I would suggest that it should be strongly considered by our patients living with PAD and diabetes as a strategy to not only improve MACE outcomes, but to also improve functional outcomes in PAD,' said Verma. Eagle noted, however, that clinicians often face barriers in prescribing GLP-1s. 'We're basically scrambling to see what's covered by patients' insurance,' he said. Verma and his co-authors said that more research is needed to understand if semaglutide's benefits extend to people with PAD who do not have diabetes. The study was funded by Novo Nordisk A/S. Rasouli reported receiving consultation fees and/or research funding from Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, Sanofi and SomaLogic. Verma disclosed research grants and/or speaking fees from Amarin, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Eli Lilly, HLS Therapeutics, Anthos, Janssen, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, PhaseBio, S&L Solutions Event Management, and Sanofi. Eagle reported no relevant conflicts.
