Women’s Health Reimagined: Treating Uterine Fibroids Without Surgery
For millions of women around the world, uterine fibroids are a painful and disruptive reality. Traditionally, treatment options have involved surgery, including hysterectomy. But what if there was a way to treat fibroids without removing the uterus or enduring a long recovery? Enter Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), a minimally invasive procedure performed by Interventional Radiologists.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus. They can vary in size and number, and symptoms include
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Frequent urination
• Pain during intercourse
The UFE Advantage
UFE works by blocking the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink. Using imaging guidance, a catheter is inserted through a small incision in the groin or wrist and directed to the uterine arteries. Tiny particles are then released to cut off blood flow to the fibroids.
Benefits of UFE
• Uterus-Sparing: Keeps your reproductive organs intact.
• Quick Recovery: Most women return to normal life within a week.
• Minimal Scarring: A single tiny incision; no stitches.
• Highly Effective: Over 85% of women see improvement in symptoms
UFE vs Hysterectomy
While hysterectomy is a permanent solution, it comes with significant physical and emotional impact, especially for younger women. UFE offers a middle ground: effective treatment without the trauma of surgery.
Is UFE Right for You?
If you’ve been diagnosed with fibroids and want to avoid major surgery, speak to an Interventional Radiologist. UFE is a proven option backed by years of successful outcomes.
