Uterine Fibroid Embolization Explained | Dr. Basavaraj Biradar

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is an advanced, non-surgical treatment option for women suffering from symptomatic uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that commonly occur in women of reproductive age, resulting from the overgrowth of smooth muscle tissue within the uterine wall. UFE offers an effective and minimally invasive solution for those experiencing symptoms like prolonged menstrual periods, heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, back pain, and pressure in the lower abdomen. Dr. Basavaraj Biradar, a Consultant in Interventional Radiology at Narayana Health City, Bangalore, provides insights into Uterine Fibroid Embolization, explaining how the procedure works, its benefits, and why it’s becoming a popular choice over traditional surgery. Understanding Uterine Fibroids Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that vary in size, ranging from undetectable to massive growths that distort the uterus. While some women may experience mild or no symptoms, others endure severe discomfort affecting their quality of life. Common symptoms of fibroids include: Heavy menstrual bleeding: Leading to anemia in severe cases. Pelvic pressure and pain: Often accompanied by bloating and discomfort. Backache or leg pain: Resulting from pressure on nearby nerves. Extended menstrual periods: Lasting over a week, sometimes leading to fatigue and exhaustion. What is Uterine Fibroid Embolization? UFE is a minimally invasive procedure performed by interventional radiologists, like Dr. Basavaraj Biradar, that effectively shrinks fibroids without surgery. The technique involves the insertion of a catheter through a small incision in the groin or wrist. Using imaging guidance, tiny particles are released into the arteries supplying blood to the fibroids, blocking the blood flow and causing the fibroids to shrink over time. Benefits of Uterine Fibroid Embolization UFE offers numerous advantages compared to traditional surgical options such as hysterectomy and myomectomy: Non-surgical procedure: No need for extensive surgery, resulting in minimal physical impact. No blood loss: The procedure avoids the complications associated with blood loss. No incisions or scars: Performed through a small pinhole incision. Uterus preservation: UFE targets fibroids without affecting surrounding tissue, preserving the uterus. Quick recovery: Most patients return to their normal activities within a few days. Effective symptom relief: Studies show high satisfaction rates and significant symptom reduction. Ideal Candidates for UFE UFE is suitable for women who: Wish to avoid surgery. Want to preserve their uterus. Experience symptoms such as heavy bleeding, prolonged periods, or pelvic pain. Have fibroids but are not ideal candidates for surgery due to other health factors. Post-Procedure Care and Recovery Following UFE, patients might experience mild cramping, fatigue, or nausea, which can be managed with medication. Rest is recommended for the first 24 hours, but patients often return to their daily activities within a week. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor the progress and ensure successful fibroid shrinkage and symptom relief. Dr. Basavaraj Biradar emphasizes the importance of rest and hydration in the initial recovery period and provides guidance for a smooth and effective healing process.
