FEmISA was set up by women whose fibroids were successfully treated by embolisation (sometimes referred to as UAE or UFE). Many of us were keen to avoid hysterectomy and we want to ensure that other women have access to embolisation for the treatment of uterine fibroids by: -
 |
informing potential patients/women and GPs
& gynaecologists about embolisation and its benefits |
|
promoting embolisation as the treatment for uterine fibroids |
|
supporting women with fibroids |
|
helping to ensure that all women have access to this treatment |
