PATIENT INFORMATION
WOMEN’S HEALTH
Interventional radiology plays a significant role in women's health by offering minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat various conditions. In women's health, interventional radiology procedures can include uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) for fibroid treatment, fallopian tube recanalization for fertility issues, post-partum hemorrhage management and pelvic congestion. These techniques provide effective alternatives to traditional surgery, often with reduced risk, quicker recovery times, and improved outcomes.
UTERINE FIBROID EMBOLISATION
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat uterine fibroids by blocking the blood vessels that supply them, causing them to shrink and alleviate symptoms.
FALLOPIAN TUBE RECANALIZATION
Uterine fallopian tube recanalization is a minimally invasive procedure to clear blockages in the fallopian tubes, aiming to improve fertility by allowing eggs and sperm to meet and fertilize naturally.
POST-PARTUM HAEMORRHAGE MANAGEMENT
Post-partum hemorrhage management involves various interventions to control excessive bleeding after childbirth.
PELVIC CONGESTION SYNDROME
Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) is a medical condition that occurs when varicose veins develop in the pelvic region, particularly around the ovaries and uterus in women.
