Being
a woman is hard enough as it is, but when everyday trials are made worse with
heavy menstrual bleeding, backaches and general discomfort, the day can seem
unending. Excessive bleeding or prolonged periods are a glaring sign that
something is wrong in your body, and you need to visit your gynaecologist. One
of the most common conditions that causes these symptoms in women over the age
of 20 is what doctors call ‘fibroids’, which are basically benign smooth
muscle growths in the uterus. They can vary in size, from being as small
as a pea to be as big or bigger than a melon.
In
most women, a gynaecologist might incidentally notice the presence of fibroids
during a routine sonography, since very few experience any noticeable
symptoms.
Most
women experience symptoms only when the fibroid grows to such an extent that it
presses on the uterus, rectum, bladder or spinal column. Another possible cause
for the symptoms could be the fact that when the fibroid outgrows its blood
supply and is deprived of nutrition, it begins to die and releases by-products
that causes pain and fever. If you notice any of the following symptoms,
consult a good gynecologist:
- Prolonged
menstrual bleeding that lasts for more than seven
days
- Persistent
pelvic pain even after menstruation (when the fibroid is pressing on
the uterus or the back)
- Frequent
urination and difficulty emptying the bladder
- Constipation (when the
fibroid is present at the back of the uterus, exerting pressure on the
rectum)
- Back or leg pain (when a
fibroid either grows large and presses on the spinal column through the
uterus or is formed behind the uterus)
Uterine
Artery Embolization or Uterine Fibroid Embolization is a minimally invasive technique used for
treating symptomatic fibroids. The advent of UAE for treatment of fibroids has
been revolutionary as the procedure requires a tiny nick in the skin and
virtually does not involve blood loss or need of blood transfusion. Thus
one can anticipate “No surgery and Quick Recovery” with Uterine Artery Embolization.
What
does a Uterine Artery Embolization procedure entail?
The
Uterine fibroids stimulate blood vessels which increase blood supply to
fibroids. The uterine artery embolization procedure entails injecting
small particles into the uterine arteries which supply blood to the uterus and
fibroids. The injected embolic agents block the vessels which starve fibroids
and cause them to shrink and die.
Advantages
of Uterine Artery Embolization:
- Minimally
invasive procedure with infrequent complications
- Simultaneously
treats all fibroids
- Performed under
local anesthesia
- Rare chances of
recurrence of fibroids after UAE
- Shorter Recovery
Period
- Minimal blood
loss
- No need for any
blood transfusion
- No adhesion
formation
- Is emotionally,
physically and sexually more advantageous over surgery

In case a woman is already pregnant, fibroids can be quite dangerous. Complications during this phase include pain during the first and second trimester of the pregnancy. If a woman experiences multiple miscarriages or is unable to conceive after a year of trying, she should consult her gynecologist immediately.
