Does UFE treat all fibroid sizes?

/0 Comments/in /by

Fibroids can vary greatly in size; from as small as a pea to as large as a grapefruit. While smaller fibroids are usually asymptomatic, larger fibroids can lead to debilitating symptoms that significantly affect quality of life. Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) is a minimally invasive treatment that works for any size fibroid. UFE is conducted via a tiny incision in the wrist, where a microcatheter is guided to the blood vessels supplying the fibroids. Tiny particles are injected to block blood flow, and by starving them of blood supply, the targeted fibroids begin to shrink and disappear. If you think UFE might be the solution for you, please visit our website for more information.

Introducing Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) at The MIC Radiology Group. This nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure is designed for men experiencing urinary tract symptoms due to an enlarged prostate. PAE is performed via a catheter that is inserted through the groin or wrist. Using X-ray imaging, the catheter is carefully guided into the arteries leading to the prostate. Tiny beads are then delivered through the catheter into these arteries, blocking the blood flow to the prostate and causing it to shrink.

Screen Your Bone Health

A bone density or DEXA scan is more effective than regular X-rays at detecting low bone density and assessing your risk for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can affect anyone but is particularly common in postmenopausal women due to decreased estrogen levels. This quick and painless procedure helps identify those at risk of decreased bone health. During the scan, special detectors measure how much radiation passes through your bones, and is used to compare your bone density with that of a young healthy adult or someone of your age, gender and ethnicity. If you would like to learn more about DEXA, please visit our website 

Introducing Fallopian Tube Recanalisation

/0 Comments/in /by

Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) is a non-surgical procedure that clears blockages to enhance the likelihood of conception. FTR is performed in 4 steps 👇🏾

1️⃣ An intravenous drip is placed, and short-acting medication is administered for sedation. 

2️⃣ A speculum is inserted into the vagina, followed by a catheter through the cervix into the uterus. 

3️⃣ A liquid dye, known as contrast, is injected through the catheter to fill and examine the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. 

4️⃣ If a blockage is detected in a fallopian tube, a small, soft microwire is threaded through the tube to clear the obstruction.

FAQ: Are fibroids a type of cancer?

/0 Comments/in /by

The simple answer is no ❌ Fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) growths made up of muscle tissue that develop in the uterus. While most fibroids don’t require treatment, larger ones can significantly impact quality of life by causing heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and reproductive issues. At the MIC Radiology Group, we offer a procedure called Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE), to effectively treat fibroids without the need for invasive surgery. If you would like to learn more about UFE, please visit our website for more details.
