Finding the Right Fibroid Doctor in Bergen County
Uterine fibroids affect a significant portion of women at some point during their reproductive years. When fibroids become symptomatic — causing heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain, or urinary frequency — finding the right specialist matters. In Bergen County, NJ, the conventional referral path typically leads to a gynecologist or gynecologic surgeon. But interventional radiologists offer a distinct and often overlooked skill set: the ability to treat fibroids without surgery.
What an Interventional Radiologist Brings to Fibroid Care
Interventional radiologists are physicians who specialize in image-guided procedures performed through very small incisions. For fibroid patients, this means the option of Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) — a procedure that targets the blood supply to fibroid tissue and causes it to shrink over time. MinVasive Medical's interventional radiology team in Paramus evaluates fibroid patients from across Bergen County and surrounding areas of New Jersey.
What We Evaluate Before Recommending UFE
- MRI or ultrasound imaging of the fibroids — size, number, and location within the uterine wall
- Severity and duration of symptoms
- Patient's overall health and vascular anatomy
- Prior fibroid treatments or uterine procedures
- Patient's goals, including plans for future pregnancy
Why the Evaluation Matters
UFE is not appropriate for every fibroid patient. Submucosal fibroids in certain locations, or very large fibroid burdens, may make other approaches more suitable. A thorough evaluation ensures that any recommendation is grounded in your specific anatomy — not a generalized protocol.
