Uterine fibroid embolization is a non-surgical medical procedure used to treat uterine fibroids, which are benign tumors that grow in the uterus. This procedure involves blocking the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and alleviating symptoms.
The benefits of uterine fibroid embolization include a faster recovery compared to traditional surgery, preservation of the uterus, relief from symptoms such as heavy bleeding and pelvic pain, and a lower likelihood of fibroid recurrence.
The uterine fibroid embolization procedure typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the size and location of the fibroids. It is an outpatient procedure, which means it does not require hospitalization, and most patients can go home the same day.
Some possible side effects of uterine fibroid embolization include abdominal pain, nausea, fever, and fatigue. These side effects are usually temporary and go away within a few days.
Uterine fibroid embolization may be an appropriate treatment option for women who wish to preserve their uterus and for those experiencing bothersome symptoms due to uterine fibroids, such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or bladder pressure.
