Overview

Women can experience several health conditions related to the uterus, pelvic veins, and reproductive system that may cause pain, heavy bleeding, or other complications. Interventional Radiology offers minimally invasive treatments that provide effective alternatives to traditional surgery.Using advanced imaging technologies such as ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and CT guidance, specialists can perform procedures through small catheters inserted into blood vessels, reducing recovery time and minimizing complications.

Our Women’s Health treatments include:

  • Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

  • Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Treatment

  • Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) for PPH and PAS

  • Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR)

  • Sclerotherapy for IVF

These procedures help manage symptoms, preserve fertility when possible, and improve overall quality of life.

UFE – Uterine Fibroid Embolization

What are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that commonly affect women during reproductive age.

Common Symptoms

  • Heavy menstrual bleeding

  • Pelvic pain or pressure

  • Frequent urination

  • Abdominal swelling

  • Fertility problems

What is UFE?

Uterine Fibroid Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink and relieving symptoms.

Benefits

  • No major surgery
  • Preserves the uterus
  • Short hospital stay
  • Faster recovery compared to hysterectomy

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome

What is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) occurs when pelvic veins become enlarged and congested, similar to varicose veins. This condition can cause chronic pelvic pain.

Symptoms

  • Chronic pelvic pain

  • Pain during or after intercourse

  • Heaviness in the pelvic area

  • Worsening pain after standing for long periods

Treatment

Interventional Radiologists treat PCS by embolizing the affected pelvic veins, blocking abnormal blood flow and relieving pain.

What is UAE?

Uterine Artery Embolization is a procedure used to control severe uterine bleeding by blocking the arteries supplying the uterus.

Conditions Treated

  • Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) – Severe bleeding after childbirth

  • Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) – Abnormal attachment of the placenta to the uterus

Benefits

  • Life-saving treatment for severe bleeding
  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • Helps preserve the uterus in many cases
  • Rapid bleeding control

Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR)

What is FTR?

Fallopian Tube Recanalization is a minimally invasive fertility procedure used to open blocked fallopian tubes.Blocked tubes can prevent eggs from reaching the uterus, making pregnancy difficult.During the procedure, a small catheter is guided through the uterus to the fallopian tubes to clear the blockage and restore normal flow.

Benefits

  • Minimally invasive fertility treatment
  • No surgery required
  • Short procedure time
  • Can improve chances of natural pregnancy

Sclerotherapy for IVF

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a procedure used to treat ovarian cysts or fluid collections that may interfere with fertility treatments such as IVF.During the procedure, a special solution is injected into the cyst to shrink it and prevent recurrence.

Benefits

  • Minimally invasive treatment
  • Helps improve IVF success chances
  • Reduces recurrence of cysts
  • Quick recovery
