My girlfriend (39 years old) has been diagnosed with Fibroids she does not want to have her uterus removed and is not sure about having more kids the doctor said that UFE was the only solution but my mom had the same thing and our doctor gave her a different treatment that did not require the removal of her uterus. I need to know what would be the best choice of action and any other information on this process please help.

There is another procedure I've read and heard about where they can deal with fibroids using ultrasound. Also, depending on the size of the fibroid as well as location it can be removed thru a surgical procedure called hysteroscopic myomectomy. Sometimes (again depending on location and size) they can remove the fibroid thru laparoscopy.
I've read about UFE and also heard good things about it.
Here's the link to a site that may help you find more information. It's at: http://forums.obgyn.net/womens-health
Also, I would recommend getting another opinion and preferably from someone that does not share the same office of the doctor that she currently uses.
