Uterine fibroids fibroids common pathology of female uterus. common symptoms like pelvic

  3. Surgical treatment of the fibroids have been done in the past .It works by removing the uterus or fibroid. However it is not feasible for younger age groups where fertility is required. New treatments have come to the picture. These include uterine artery embolization technique for treatment of symptomatic fibroids . uterine artery embolization. It is the least non-surgical

  4. Embolization is done by specialists called interventional radiologist .It is performed by blocking abnormal blood supply of the fibroids .This leads to correction of abnormal bleeding associated with fibroids and shrinkage of fibroids over a period of time. This procedure is becoming more popular due to its efficacy and shorter recovery time .It also helps in saving the uterus for future pregnancy.

  5. Uterine Artery Uterine Artery Embolization Embolization UAE is procedure that selectively cannulates the uterine arteries that supply blood to fibroids. The procedure involves multiple steps: Patient Preparation Patient Preparation The patient generally remains awake or mild sedation is given Access is developed for the femoral artery using a sheath. 2. Catheter 2. Catheter cannulation cannulation and and Embolization Embolization Under fluoroscopic guidance, the catheter are moved into the uterine arteries. Tiny embolic particles are injected into the arteries supplying the fibroids. These particles block blood flow causing fibroid shrinkage over time. 3. Completion and Recovery 3. Completion and Recovery The catheter is removed after the completion of the procedure and entry point is closed. There is minimal discomfort to the patient . Patients stay in the hospital for observation for a few hours or overnight and recovery is faster than surgical methods.

  6. Benefits of Uterine Artery Benefits of Uterine Artery Embolization Embolization UAE is preferred alternative to surgery due to several advantages: UAE is preferred alternative to surgery due to several advantages: It is minimally Invasive and no major surgical cuts are required .It reduces the risk of complications and infection.

  7. Risks and Potential Complications Risks and Potential Complications While UAE is generally safe, there are potential risks, including: Post Post- -Embolization Embolization Syndrome: Syndrome: It includes symptoms like mild fever, pelvic pain, and nausea due to fibroid shrinkage and degeneration. It can be managed with painkillers and resolves within a few days. Incomplete Fibroid Shrinkage: Incomplete Fibroid Shrinkage: Some fibroids may not respond completely and may require additional treatment or repeat embolization.

  8. Impact on Fertility: Impact on Fertility: Embolization can cause early menopause but its benefits in improving fertility are much more than limitations. Rare Complications: Rare Complications: These include infection, uterine necrosis (damage to uterine tissue), or non-target embolization (where embolic material affects unintended areas).
