There are many resources on the Internet that pertain to uterine fibroids and the treatment options available to women who have them. Here are some of the best:

Uterine Fibroid Embolization

SCVIR the Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology. Not only will you find information on UFE but they have a searchable database that allows you to locate a radiologist near you who performs UFE.

Fibroidoptions.com Dr. Jim Spies of Georgetown University has created a wonderful site full of up to date information for both patients and their doctors.

The Fibroid Corner. Dr. Worthington-Kirsch has more UFE experience than any other US physician.

Embo Group. This is a discussion group where patients and physicians communicate about UFE via posts. Many of the posts are from women who have had UFE, many from women who are considering it. You will find that some patients are delighted with the results, and others are not. Physicians frequently add their two cents to the discussions. It is easy to subscribe to the group and it is free.

Uterine Fibroids Group. Another discussion group. Broader in scope than the Embo group, this group is for those interested in researching and discussing all methods of treatment for uterine fibroids. Also easy to subscribe to and free.
