NON-OPERATIVE TREATMENT OF UTERINE MYOMAS (UTERINE FIBROID EMBOLIZATION)
Uterine fibroids may cause prolonged and severe bleeding, severe pain and cramps during menstruation, urinary complaints, and even enlargement of the renal collector system and impaired renal function in the very large uterus.
Bleeding is sometimes severe and may cause low blood levels and many side effects.
Drug treatment has a very limited effect in the treatment of fibroids.
Surgical treatments are serious operations performed under general anesthesia.
Fibroids can be easily treated with the closed angiographic method without the need for general anesthesia and without any incision.
In this treatment, the vessels that feed the uterus are found by angiography and these vessels are occluded by particles of appropriate size.
As a result, fibroids, which are very intense blooded structures, cannot be fed and as they cannot receive blood, tissue nutrition is disrupted and tissue death called necrosis occurs in fibroids.
