ABOUT UFE
You don't have to choose between your symptoms and your uterus.
At BFIC, we help women break free from the exhausting burden of uterine fibroids - without hysterectomy, major surgery, or the long recoveries that keep you away from your life, your career, and your family.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a non-surgical, uterus-preserving treatment performed by a U.S. board-certified Interventional Radiologist. It's precise, proven, and recognised by every major gynecological society as a first-line alternative to surgery.
You deserve to know every option before you agree to lose something you can't get back.
ABOUT UFE

At The Bahamas Fibroid & Interventional Clinic, we help women break free from the exhausting burden of uterine fibroids - without hysterectomy, major surgery, or the long recoveries that keep you away from your life, your career, and your family.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a non-surgical, uterus-preserving treatment performed by Dr. Higgins, a U.S. board-certified interventional radiologist and fibroids specialist. It's precise, proven, and recognised by every major gynecological society as a first-line alternative to surgery.
You deserve to know every option before you agree to lose something you can't get back.
Recognising the Problem
Symptoms you've been told are "just part of being a woman"
Dr. Higgins helps women across the Bahamas and Caribbean finally address what they've been silently enduring:
Heavy, prolonged periods that force you to plan your life around a bathroom, or miss work entirely.
Pelvic pressure, pain, or a visible stomach bulge that makes your clothes no longer fit.
Waking through the night to change protection or to empty a bladder that feels compressed.
Pain during intercourse that's slowly eroded your intimate life.
Anaemia and exhaustion so relentless that everything including work, parenting, and exercise, feels heavier than it should.
Being told hysterectomy is your "best option" even though you're not done with your body, your fertility, or your choices.
Clinical evidence shows UFE produces symptom relief in 85–90% of women, with full uterine preservation, faster recovery than surgery, and a fraction of the complication rate.

Symptoms you've been told are "just part of being a woman"
Dr. Higgins helps women across The Bahamas and The Caribbean finally address what they've been silently enduring:
Heavy, prolonged periods that force you to plan your life around a bathroom or miss work entirely.
Pelvic pressure, pain, or a visible abdominal bulge that makes your clothes no longer fit.
Waking through the night to change a pad. Waking again to empty a bladder that feels compressed.
Pain during intercourse that's slowly eroded your intimate life.
Anaemia and exhaustion so relentless that everything about work, parenting, exercise feels heavier than it should.
Being told hysterectomy is your 'best option,' even when better, less invasive paths exist that protect your fertility and your future.
