Specialist team of Doctors devoted to treating fibroids
with minimally invasive therapy

Clinic Consultation

The patient journey begins with an initial clinical consultation at one of our clinic locations. The consultation is an important step in the Uterine Fibroid Embolization process (UFE). During the consultation we will establish the suitability of Uterine Fibroid Embolization by taking a thorough clinical history and reviewing relevant imaging. MRI is usually used to evaluate the size and location of the uterine fibroids and we will arrange for this to be done if required. We take the time to listen to our patients’ concerns, answer questions, and provide detailed information about the UFE procedure, its benefits, risks, and potential outcomes. Our goal is to ensure that our patients feel fully informed to make the best decision for their individual needs and preferences.

Fibroid Embolization

Fibroid embolisation, also known as uterine artery embolisation or uterine fibroid embolisation (UFE), is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat uterine fibroids. The procedure involves threading a small catheter through a tiny incision in the groin and guiding it to the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids. Once the catheter is in place, small particles are injected to block blood flow to the fibroids, causing the fibroids to shrink. The procedure is usually performed under sedation & local anesthesia and typically takes 1-2 hours. UFE is a safe and effective treatment option for women who suffer from symptomatic fibroids, including heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and discomfort. The benefits of UFE include a shorter recovery time compared to surgery, preservation of the uterus, and minimal scarring. Most women experience significant relief from symptoms within a few weeks to a few months after the procedure.

Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic imaging is an essential component of the Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) process, allowing our doctors to evaluate the size, location, and number of fibroids in the uterus. At our clinic locations we offer a range of imaging modalities, including ultrasound, MRI, and CT scans, to provide a comprehensive evaluation of each patient’s fibroids. Our team of skilled imaging technologists and radiologists work closely with our UFE team to ensure that patients receive the highest quality of imaging studies. We are committed to patient safety and comfort, and we strive to make the imaging experience as stress-free as possible for our patients. Our radiologists are experts in interpreting imaging studies related to fibroids, and they use this information to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient. Our goal is to provide accurate and timely diagnoses providing our patients with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their healthcare.

Pelvic Congestion

Pelvic congestion is a condition where blood pools in the veins of the pelvis, causing them to enlarge and become engorged. This can lead to chronic pelvic pain, discomfort, and pressure, especially during or after intercourse. While this condition can affect women of any age, it is most commonly seen in those who have had multiple pregnancies or have a history of pelvic inflammatory disease. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans, to evaluate the veins in the pelvis. One of the primary treatment options for pelvic congestion is ovarian vein embolization, a minimally invasive procedure where the affected veins are blocked with small particles to reduce blood flow. This can help alleviate symptoms and improve a woman’s quality of life. Our team of interventional radiologists are highly skilled in performing ovarian vein embolization, and work closely with our patients to ensure the best possible outcomes.
