Uterine Artery Embolisation for Bleeding and Fibroids
Uterine Artery Embolisationc in Yeshwanthpur
Uterine artery embolisation (UAE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids and abnormal uterine bleeding by reducing blood flow to the uterus. This procedure is an effective alternative to hysterectomy and myomectomy, allowing women to preserve their uterus while alleviating symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms, and bulk-related discomfort. Using fluoroscopic guidance, a catheter is inserted through the femoral or radial artery and navigated to the uterine arteries. Tiny embolic particles, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or microspheres, are injected into the arteries supplying the fibroids, blocking their blood flow. Deprived of oxygen and nutrients, the fibroids shrink over time, reducing symptoms and improving the quality of life.
UAE is highly effective for fibroids of varying sizes and locations, including intramural, subserosal, and submucosal fibroids. It also offers a solution for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) and other causes of uterine bleeding, such as adenomyosis. Patients typically experience mild post-procedural pain and cramping, known as post-embolisation syndrome, which resolves within days. Most women notice a significant improvement in symptoms within weeks, with continued fibroid shrinkage over months. UAE has a shorter recovery time than surgical options, allowing women to resume normal activities within a few days. The procedure also lowers the risk of surgical complications, including infection, excessive blood loss, and uterine scarring. Our interventional radiology specialists offer state-of-the-art uterine artery embolisation, ensuring safe and effective treatment for fibroids and uterine bleeding.
Below are the key procedures under uterine artery embolisation:
-
Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE): UFE reduces fibroid size by blocking blood supply, alleviating pain and bleeding.
-
Embolisation for Postpartum Haemorrhage (PPH): Controls excessive bleeding after childbirth, preventing emergency surgery.
-
Adenomyosis Embolisation: Minimises heavy bleeding and pain in women with adenomyosis by targeting affected uterine tissue.
-
Minimally Invasive Approach: Performed via a small catheter without significant surgery, ensuring faster recovery.
-
Targeted Embolisation with Imaging: Uses fluoroscopy to block fibroid-feeding arteries precisely while preserving uterine function.
