Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) is the treatment of choice for our patients because it treats all fibroids at once, avoids the removal of the uterus, and other benefits.
Uterine fibroid embolization is an effective non-surgical image-guided procedure that requires no stiches, major incisions or general anesthesia.
Myomectomy involves the surgical removal of a fibroid. All methods involve major surgical risks including general anesthesia, bleeding and infection risks, and possible hospital stay.
Uterine ablation is a major surgery involving burning the fibroid tissue. This can also burn the normal uterine tissue in addition to surgical risks.
Hysterectomy — as a permanent solution for uterine fibroids — should be considered a treatment of last resort due to its invasive nature and organ loss.
