In short
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive procedure for fibroids or adenomyosis. Small particles are injected into the uterine arteries to block blood flow to the affected areas, which causes them to shrink. It is performed under local anaesthesia through a tiny incision in the groin and typically takes less than an hour.
