What is Uterine Artery Embolization?

Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive treatment used to stop serious pelvic bleeding. The most common reason for performing Uterine Artery Embolization is Uterine fibroids (non-cancerous tumors inside the uterus). Other conditions include trauma, malignant (cancerous) gynecological tumors, or hemorrhage after childbirth, among other things.

The words Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) and Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) are frequently interchanged. UFE, or Uterine Artery Embolization is a specific type of uterine artery embolization. As previously stated, UAE can be used to treat a variety of disorders that cause pelvic bleeding in addition to fibroids.

How does Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) work?

Blocking agents are injected into specific blood arteries in the UAE. Fluoroscopy, a type of X-ray that captures moving images, is used to route these medicines to the uterine arteries through a tube (catheter). When blood vessels are blocked, bleeding can be brought under control, and tumors or fibroids can be made to shrink by cutting their blood supply. Healthy tissue in the vicinity is unaffected because it is still nourished by unobstructed vessels.

For uterine fibroid embolization, a variety of particles are employed. Doctors have been using these drugs safely for many years.

An interventional radiologist is the doctor who performs the procedure. This physician specializes in treating medical conditions without the use of major surgery. Instead, he or she uses a combination of modest tools and imaging examinations. X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound are examples of these tests.

When is Uterine Artery Embolization required ?

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a procedure that involves blocking the flow of blood to the uterus and thus helps women who have severe pelvic bleeding as a result of fibroids or other disorders.

The most common cause for uterine fibroid embolization is to treat uterine fibroid tumors that are causing discomfort or other complications.
Your doctor may recommend this procedure if you have:

  • Low blood count (anemia) from uterine bleeding due to fibroids
  • Fullness or pain in your belly
  • An enlarged uterus
  • Belly that is larger than normal
  • Infertility
  • Bladder pressure that makes you feel like you need to urinate often
  • Pressure on the bowel that causes constipation and bloating
  • Pain during sexual intercourse
  • Pain in your back or legs, which may be caused by the fibroids pressing on nerves

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) should not be done for the following reasons:

  • When a patient has uterine fibroids but no symptoms, this is referred to as asymptomatic uterine fibroids.
  • If the woman is expecting a child,
  • If cancer is suspected,
  • In the event of a pelvic infection,
  • In the event of a reaction to contrast dyes,
  • If your fibroids are exceedingly large, uterine fibroid embolization may not be indicated.

How is Uterine Artery Embolization done?

An interventional radiologist performs the UAE in a catheterization lab or operating room and normally takes about 90 minutes to complete the process.

Step 1

The patient is placed on an examination table and connected to machines that will monitor vital indicators like heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. An anesthetic (pain reliever) and sedative is administered through an IV (intravenous) line.

Step 2

A tiny incision is created in the groin region. The insertion and positioning of a catheter is guided by an X-ray camera (fluoroscope) and contrast dyes. The catheter injects embolic substances (such as polyvinyl alcohol) into certain uterine arteries to stop blood flow.

Step 3

The catheter is withdrawn once the procedure is completed. The incision's bleeding is stopped, and a bandage is applied. No stitches are required. While the patient is in the hospital for observation, pain medicines may be administered.

What is the Recovery after Uterine Artery Embolization like?

The majority of patients are able to return home the same day. Painkiller and other drugs are prescribed for usage at home. Within one to two weeks after the surgery, you should be able to resume normal activities.

For a cycle or two, menstrual bleeding may not resume. When it does restart, the amount of blood may be lower than normal, but it will gradually grow over the next few cycles to a level that is better than before the treatment.

In the case of fibroids treatment, symptoms should start to fade in two to three weeks. The rate of improvement reaches a maximum after six months and then stabilizes.

What Results Can I Expect from Uterine Artery Embolization?

After a year, 90 percent to 92 percent of patients who had uterine artery embolization (UAE) had their bleeding symptoms under control.

Those who got uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) for fibroids therapy reported similar levels of satisfaction at one and five years as patients who received surgical treatment.

Patient Testimonials

  • At the age of 49, my fibroids were giving me huge trouble. I had consulted a few local gynecologists but was not very happy and satisfied. One of my friends who had been to India suggested IndiCure and their responses amazed me. They answered all my queries to my satisfaction. I traveled to India for my surgery and had a successful surgery.

    Very happy with the services and outcome. Thank you very much Indicure.

    Jelda,Ethiopia

    Procedure: Hysterectomy

  • I appreciate the professionalism, attention to detail and care that I received from Dr Wagh, Dr Ruchika and Shweta at IndiCure. I am very pleased with the treatments and would certainly recommend them to anyone thinking about traveling abroad for medical reasons.

    Rose Brown,Nairobi, Kenya

    Procedure: Uterine artery embolization, Abdominoplasty, Breast reduction and Lift

  • I had been having extremely heavy periods for more than 6 months. I consulted a few gynecologists who suggested I may need to remove the uterus, which I was very skeptical about. My husband had heard a lot about Indian surgeons and thought about consulting them. We searched on the Internet and came across IndiCure. They sent us the opinion of 4 gynecologists and all seemed very promising.
    We came to India, got a few tests done and finally got rid of my fibroids through a Uterine Artery Embolization surgery. Extremely thankful to IndiCure for the excellent treatment and facilities.

    Zahida Sheikh,Abu Dhabi, UAE

Frequently Asked Questions

Uterine fibroid embolization is a technique for shrinking uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous tumors in the uterus. Because it does not require significant surgery, you may be able to recover faster. It's also possible that you won't need to stay in the hospital. Fibroid embolization in the uterus reduces fibroids by cutting off their blood supply.

The level of pain varies from patient to patient. The worst discomfort usually happens right after the surgery and lasts for the next six hours. This pain is described by patients as being similar to menstruation cramps. Some patients are completely pain-free.

Uterine fibroid embolization is a highly effective surgery with an estimated 85 percent success rate. The majority of women who have the treatment have a significant improvement in their symptoms as well as a reduction in the size of their uterine fibroids. After UFE, if menstruation has been heavy, it should recover to a more regular flow.

Embolization of the uterine artery is generally considered safe. Complications are rare. However, do speak with your doctor about any potential risks.

The trial demonstrated that after UAE, it is possible to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. It also showed that the surgery increased the chance of aberrant placentation, low or extremely low birth weights, and preterm births.

A postfertility, premenopausal patient with symptomatic uterine fibroids who wants to avoid hysterectomy is a suitable candidate for Uterine Fibroids Embolization. Patients with pedunculated subserosal fibroids are not regarded excellent candidates, despite the fact that there is no predetermined size restriction.

Experts say that you will still get your period following a UFE operation, but your flow will become lighter with each menstruation cycle. You will continue to have your period. In fact, your first period after the operation is highly likely to be really heavy.

When comparing a hysterectomy to Uterine Fibroid Embolization, UFE is less painful, has less dangers, and takes less time to recover. You can go home the same day as your operation with this minimally invasive approach.

In most cases, patients who have cervical, endometrial, or uterine cancer are not candidates for embolization. Besides, women who have a pelvic infection that is active, recent, or persistent or patients suffering from severe peripheral vascular disease, or women who have uncontrollable bleeding are not good candidates for Uterine Fibroids Embolization.

Because fibroid tumors frequently grow back after hormone therapy is stopped, uterine fibroid embolization is a more permanent cure than hormonal therapy.

About 25,000 UAE procedures are performed around the world each year.

Though rare, following are the risks associated with uterine artery embolization:

  • The catheter could induce an infection or harm other blood vessels in the area if it is inserted incorrectly. When UAE is performed by a skilled practitioner, the chances of this happening are fewer than 1%.
  • The embolic agent could end up in an unexpected blood vessel, cutting off oxygen and nutrients to vital tissue.
  • It's possible that you'll have an allergic reaction to the X-ray contrast dyes.
  • Following uterine fibroid embolization, between 1% to 5% of women's menstrual cycles will be permanently disrupted (UFE). Women over the age of 45 are more likely to experience this.
  • The younger a woman is when she has UFE, the more likely it is that symptoms may return and a hysterectomy will be required.

Within ten days, ninety percent of patients are back to normal. A hysterectomy, on the other hand, can take up to six weeks to recuperate from.
