In severe cases, Uterine fibroids can lead to life-altering symptoms. Some of the most frequent include 👇🏾

☑️Discomfort and bloating 

☑️Painful periods 

☑️Painful sexual intercourse 

☑️Heavy periods 

☑️Frequent back pain 

☑️Constipation 

If these symptoms sound familiar, we recommend seeking a formal diagnosis. Fibroids are highly treatable, and there is now a minimally invasive procedure called Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) available, covered by most medical aids in Zimbabwe. If you have been diagnosed with fibroids and would like to learn more about UFE, please send us a message online or visit our website

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.

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.

At MIC, we provide comprehensive medical imaging tailored to women’s health. Our key services include 👇🏾

⭐ Breast Imaging: 3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis) detects breast cancer at very early stages, sometimes two years before any noticeable symptoms.

⭐ Bone Densitometry (DEXA): Bone density scans diagnose or assess your risk of osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases fracture risk.

⭐ Gynaecological Imaging: Ultrasound studies include transabdominal pelvic ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound, pelvic floor ultrasound for urinary incontinence and prolapse, and deep endometriosis ultrasound.

⭐ HSG: Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an imaging study of the uterus and fallopian tubes to evaluate potential causes of infertility.
