Relief from Heavy Uterine Bleeding
Uterine Artery Embolisation (UAE) is a safe, non-surgical solution for women experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding, particularly due to fibroids or adenomyosis. It works by blocking the blood supply to problematic areas, resulting in symptom relief and preserved fertility.
Benefits of Uterine Artery Embolisation
- Minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia
- Effective control of heavy bleeding without the need for hysterectomy
- Short recovery time and minimal hospital stay
- Preserves uterus and potential for future pregnancy
- Proven success in treating fibroid-related symptoms
UAE Procedure Overview
Catheter-Based Access
A catheter is inserted through the groin or wrist and guided to the uterine arteries using imaging.
Embolisation
Tiny particles are injected to block the blood flow to the fibroids or bleeding source, causing them to shrink.
Outpatient Recovery
Most patients are discharged within a day and resume daily activities within a few days.
Symptom Improvement
Most women experience significant reduction in bleeding, pain, and pressure symptoms post-procedure.
