Uterine Fibroid Embolization

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause a variety of symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and difficulty during intercourse. These symptoms can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life. When conservative treatments, such as medications or surgery, are not effective, uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) offers an innovative, minimally invasive solution.

Dr. Masood Ahmed, a renowned interventional radiologist based in Lahore, provides expert care for women suffering from uterine fibroids. With years of experience and cutting-edge technology, Dr. Ahmed offers Uterine Fibroid Embolization as a highly effective alternative to traditional surgical methods like hysterectomy or myomectomy.

What is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?

Uterine Fibroid Embolization is a non-surgical procedure used to treat fibroids by blocking the blood vessels that supply them with nutrients. Without blood supply, the fibroids shrink, which in turn alleviates the symptoms associated with them. UFE has become a leading choice for women seeking an effective and less invasive treatment for uterine fibroids, especially for those who wish to preserve their uterus and fertility.

During the procedure, a small catheter is inserted through a tiny incision in the groin area and guided to the arteries that feed the fibroids. Tiny particles are injected into the blood vessels, causing the fibroids to shrink over time. UFE typically takes about 1 to 2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation, making it a relatively comfortable and quick procedure for most women.

    Women who do not wish to undergo traditional surgery or those who wish to preserve their uterus are often good candidates for UFE. UFE is typically recommended for women who:

    • Are you not planning to have children in the future
    • Have fibroids that are not excessively large or difficult to treat
    • Are you seeking a less invasive, faster recovery option
    • Are in good general health and can tolerate the procedure

    While UFE is effective for many women, some cases of fibroids may not be suitable for this procedure, such as very large or deeply embedded fibroids. Dr. Masood Ahmed will conduct a thorough evaluation, including imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI, to determine if UFE is the right treatment for you.
