Women’s Health and IR: Uterine Fibroid Embolization and Minimally Invasive Solutions for Chronic Pelvic Pain

Many women in Hyderabad silently experience heavy bleeding, severe cramps, or persistent pelvic pain without knowing that safe, minimally invasive solutions exist. Interventional Radiology (IR) has transformed women’s health by offering effective alternatives to major surgeries. Under the care of Dr. Nagateja, Interventional Radiologist at Clinic Seven, Hyderabad, women now have access to procedures like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) and image-guided treatments that provide fast relief with minimal downtime.


Understanding Uterine Fibroids and Their Impact on Women’s Health

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that affect millions of women, especially those between 25 and 45 years. Symptoms like heavy periods, pelvic pressure, back pain, and fatigue can affect daily life and emotional wellbeing. While surgery was once the only solution, IR offers a uterus-preserving method called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

UFE reduces fibroid size by blocking their blood supply, causing them to shrink naturally. This pinhole approach avoids large cuts, stitches, and the long recovery associated with traditional surgeries.

 

What Is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?

During UFE, a thin catheter is inserted through a tiny puncture in the wrist or groin. Using real-time imaging, the catheter reaches the blood vessels supplying the fibroid. Small embolic particles are then released to reduce blood flow, allowing the fibroid to shrink gradually.

Most women notice improvement within weeks. The recovery is quick, and the uterus remains intact, making UFE an excellent option for those seeking minimally invasive, fertility-preserving care.

Benefits of UFE for Women in Hyderabad

Women choose UFE because it offers significant advantages over open or laparoscopic surgery. It avoids the long hospital stay and surgical risks while delivering excellent symptom relief.

Key benefits include:
  •   No surgical cuts only a pinhole entry
  •   Short procedure time and same-day discharge
  •   Preserves the uterus
  •   Reduces heavy bleeding and pelvic pressure
  •   Faster return to daily activities

These benefits make UFE one of the most preferred IR treatments for women in Hyderabad today.

Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Common Yet Overlooked Condition

Many women live with chronic pelvic pain for years without a proper diagnosis. Conditions such as pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS), endometriosis-related pain, and ovarian vein reflux often remain undetected through routine exams.

Interventional Radiology provides precise diagnosis and targeted treatment. By using ultrasound and advanced imaging, IR specialists identify the exact cause of pain and provide relief through minimally invasive procedures.

How IR Treats Chronic Pelvic Pain

 

1. Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) Treatment

PCS occurs when veins in the pelvis become enlarged and cause dull, aching pain. IR uses ovarian vein embolization to seal these problematic veins. This reduces congestion and relieves pain significantly.

Most patients experience relief within days. The procedure is safe, effective, and avoids the risks associated with open pelvic surgery.

2. Image-Guided Pain Management

Some chronic pelvic pain arises from nerve irritation or inflammation in deep pelvic tissues. IR procedures deliver medications directly to the affected area using image guidance.

This approach ensures accuracy, reduces inflammation, and offers sustained relief without systemic side effects.

3. Treatment for Adenomyosis-Related Pain

Adenomyosis causes thickening of the uterine wall, leading to severe pain and heavy periods. UFE can also help reduce adenomyosis symptoms by cutting off excess blood supply.

Women who want a uterus-preserving option often prefer this IR-based treatment for long-term improvement.

Why Hyderabad Patients Prefer Minimally Invasive IR Solutions

With growing awareness and increasing demand for advanced treatments, Interventional Radiology has become a preferred approach in Hyderabad for women seeking safe, effective solutions.

The major reasons include:
  •   Shorter recovery time
  •   Lower complication rate
  •   No stitches or visible scars
  •   Highly targeted treatment that addresses the root cause
  •   Hospital stay of only a few hours

This makes IR ideal for working women, students, and mothers who cannot afford long downtime.
