Uterine Fibroid Embolization

Uterine Artery Embolisation Treatment in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore

Uterine Arterial Embolisation (UAE) is an invasive procedure performed by radiologists to deal with uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. Large-growth fibroids are a non-cancerous development that grows in the uterus and is common and causes pain in the pelvic region, bleeding and an enlarged uterus. Contraindications to uterine artery embolisation are viable pregnancy, untreated infections, and gynecologic cancer.

Preoperative evaluations are done based on a complete history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging to rule out patient conditions. During the UAE, the catheter is passed into the blood artery in the wrist or groin and driven through X-ray images to direct blood supply to the fibroid with microscopic particles. It gradually reduces the fibroids over the weeks and months.

After the procedure, patients usually go through a sequence of operations for smooth recovery. Patients are advised to rest for 4 to 6 hours post-procedure. Furthermore, patients must undertake activities such as walking and deep-breathing exercises. Follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring the progress of the treatment. It usually involves clinic visits between 1 and 3 months post-procedure, and sometimes, an MRI may be done to compare the size of these fibroids with measurements taken before surgery. This constant monitoring will keep the procedure successful and allow the healthcare specialist to decide whether more steps are needed for the best results.
