If you’ve been told that hysterectomy is the “only option” for your fibroids, take a deep breath — that may not be true anymore.

Across Bangalore, especially in areas like Jayanagar, Basavanagudi, JP Nagar, Banashankari, BTM, women experience the same painful journey:

Heavy periods
Large clots
Cramping so severe it stops daily work
Pelvic pressure
Pain during intercourse
Tiredness from constant anemia
Fear of hysterectomy or big surgery

Yet most women silently suffer for months or years because they’re afraid of:

Removal of uterus
Side effects of major surgery
Long recovery
Blood loss
Scars
Impact on hormonal health

But now, medical science offers a powerful alternative:

Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) – a minimally invasive procedure that shrinks fibroids WITHOUT removing the uterus.

No cuts.
No stitches.
No hospital stay.
No hysterectomy.
No large incisions.

What Are Uterine Fibroids?

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths inside or around the uterus. They vary in size — from tiny seeds to large masses.

They cause:

Heavy bleeding
Painful periods
Pelvic pressure
Frequent urination
Bloating
Back pain
Difficulty conceiving (in some cases)

Fibroids grow because of excess blood supply.
When this blood flow is controlled, fibroids shrink.

That’s exactly what UAE does.

What Is Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)?

UAE is a minimally invasive vascular procedure that shrinks fibroids by reducing their blood supply.

Through a tiny puncture:

A micro-catheter is guided into the uterine arteries
Small medical particles block the vessels feeding the fibroids
Fibroids gradually shrink
Symptoms improve within weeks

No stitches.

No uterus removal.
No open surgery.

Why Women in Bangalore Delay Fibroid Treatment

From speaking to hundreds of patients, the top reasons are:

“I don’t want my uterus removed.”
“I can’t take a long leave from work.”
“I’m scared of anesthesia.”
“My mother had complications in her hysterectomy.”
“I heard the recovery is painful.”

This delay leads to:

Severe anemia
Constant fatigue
Enlarged uterus
Interrupted sleep
Repeated hospital visits

UAE exists exactly for women who want a safe, uterus-preserving alternative.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for UAE?

You may be a strong candidate if you have:

Symptoms

Very heavy periods
Passing blood clots
Pelvic or lower back pain
Pressure on bladder or bowel
Frequent urination
Pain during intercourse
Abdominal fullness or bloating
Cramping that affects daily life

Situations

Want to avoid hysterectomy
Want to preserve the uterus
Have multiple fibroids
Not comfortable with open surgery
Medical conditions that make surgery risky
Poor response to medicines
Told surgery is the only option

If two or more apply, UAE is worth evaluating.

Why Hysterectomy/Myomectomy Isn’t Always the Best First Choice

Hysterectomy (uterus removal):

Major surgery
Long incision or laparoscopic ports
Risk of bleeding
Long recovery
Permanently removes uterus

Myomectomy (fibroid removal):

May return after surgery
Not always suitable for multiple fibroids
Risk of adhesion formation
Requires anesthesia

These surgeries can be lifesaving in certain cases.
But they are not the only option anymore.

UAE provides:

No-repeat fibroid removal
No uterus removal
No long hospital stay
Same-day recovery
Minimal pain
Long-term symptom improvement

How UAE Works – Step-by-Step

1. Evaluation

Ultrasound
MRI (if needed)
Blood tests
Symptom scoring

2. Day of Procedure

Local anesthesia
No general anesthesia
No stitches

3. Micro-Catheter Navigation

A thin catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin artery.

4. Targeting Uterine Arteries

The arteries supplying the fibroids are identified using live imaging.

5. Embolization

Tiny particles are injected to reduce blood flow to the fibroids.

6. Recovery

Rest for a few hours
Go home the same day
Resume daily activities in 48–72 hours

7. Results

Fibroid shrinkage begins within weeks
Maximum improvement seen in 3–6 months
Bleeding reduces significantly
Pelvic pressure disappears
Pain decreases
Overall energy improves

Benefits of UAE Compared to Hysterectomy/Myomectomy

1. No Cuts or Incisions

Done through a pin-hole artery access.

2. Uterus Is Preserved

No organ removal.

3. Treats Multiple Fibroids at Once

Even large and multiple fibroids are treatable.

4. Day-Care Procedure

Go home the same day.

5. Low Risk of Complications

No large incision = minimal bleeding.

6. Fast Recovery

Back to routine quickly.

7. Ideal for Women in Mid-30s to Late 40s

Especially for those wanting uterus preservation.

8. Suitable When Surgery Is Risky

Women with:

High BP
Diabetes
Heart issues
Previous surgeries
benefit from a minimally invasive approach.

Is UAE Safe?

UAE is considered extremely safe.
Temporary side effects may include:

Mild cramping
Pelvic discomfort
Low-grade fever
Fatigue for 24–48 hours

These resolve quickly with medication.

Unlike big surgeries, UAE avoids:

General anesthesia
Long incisions
Excess blood loss
Long hospital stay

Why Choose a Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon for UAE?

UAE is an artery-based procedure.

That means:

Deep knowledge of pelvic blood vessels
Precision in catheter navigation
Real-time control over blood flow
Ability to avoid complications
Better accuracy while targeting fibroid-fed arteries

A vascular surgeon is specially trained to work inside arteries with micro-catheter precision.

This makes procedures safer and more predictable.
