Fibroids Removal Options
Different treatment options are available depending on the size, location and symptoms caused by the fibroids, the age of the patient and patient preference.
Non-Surgical Fibroids Removal
Uterine Fibroid Embolization
Uterine Fibroid Embolization is an internationally well-established, minimally invasive procedure used to treat all fibroids in a single sitting with excellent outcomes. During the procedure, the blood supply to the fibroids is blocked by tiny, microscopic, inert particles injected through a long, thin tube introduced into a blood vessel in the left wrist, causing the fibroids to shrink over the following few weeks/months.
Surgical Fibroids Removal Options
Hysterectomy
Removal of the entire uterus and all fibroids within it
Myomectomy
Medical treatment with tablets/injections reduces levels of certain hormones such as oestrogen and causes fibroids to shrink.
Effectiveness of Natural Treatment
Natural or herbal remedies may help relieve minor symptoms such as bloating, cramps or heavy periods, but they do not shrink or eliminate fibroids. For lasting results, procedures like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) remain the only proven methods to treat fibroids effectively.
