Living with heavy periods is not a treatment plan

Living with heavy periods is not a treatment plan 🌸 While uterine fibroids may begin as small, unnoticeable growths, they can become increasingly disruptive as they grow. Many women initially dismiss symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort, bloating, frequent urination, or fatigue as something they simply need to manage. Over time, however, these symptoms can have a significant impact on daily life and overall wellbeing.

If fibroids are affecting your quality of life, treatment options are available. Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink while preserving the uterus. To learn more about UFE, visit our website here.

What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a specialised branch of medicine that uses advanced imaging technology to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions throughout the body. Using guidance from X-ray, ultrasound, CT scans, and other imaging techniques, interventional radiologists can perform targeted procedures through tiny incisions using small instruments such as catheters. Some Interventional Radiology procedures offer a minimally invasive alternative and often resulting in shorter recovery times, less discomfort, and reduced hospital stays.
