Suffering from uterine fibroids and scared of the surgical treatment?

Do not worry and do not panic. Surgery is not required in majority of cases and hysterectomy not at all. Then why your Gynecologist did not tell you about the non-surgical treatment?. This is because this treatment is done by Interventional Radiologists and not Gynecologist.

The non-surgical treatment for fibroids is called Uterine Artery Embolization. This is extremely effective and convenient treatment and hugely popular in western countries. But now this is available in New Delhi, India. The doctor is trained from eminent and reputed John Hopkins University and Hospital, USA and has performed more than 5000 such non-surgical treatments for various disease.

Uterine Artery Embolization  The Procedure:
It is an interventional radiological procedure performed under sedation or mild local anaesthesia, feeling no pain and require hospital stay of only one night. Patient resumes light activity from next day and routine activities within 2-3 days.

It is an extremely effective treatment and treats all fibroids at the same time, thereby minimizing the chance of recurrence.

A small nick is made in the skin at groin, a catheter is inserted, angiography done and uterine artery identified. Then embolization particles called PVA particles are injected into the artery which block the tiny vessels supplying the fibroids. This causes degeneration of diseased tissues and fibroids start shrinking in size within a few weeks. Symptoms of bleeding and pain resolve in 95% of patients.

There is no blood loss, no risk of blood transfusion. Emotionally, financially & physically  embolization has an overall advantage over other procedures as uterus is not removed.
