Uterine Fibroids Without Surgery
A clinical second opinion can protect you from major surgery. Learn how image-guided interventions offer a safe, uterus-preserving alternative with same-day recovery.
Evaluating Your Options
Compare the clinical realities of traditional open surgery against advanced image-guided embolization to make an informed decision for your health.
Surgical Hysterectomy
Uterine Embolization
Involves complete organ removal under general anesthesia. Requires three to five days of hospitalization and up to eight weeks of painful recovery, leaving permanent physical scars.
A precise, image-guided procedure that blocks blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink. Preserves the uterus, requires only a tiny pinhole, and offers same-day discharge.
Pinhole Precision Recovery
Under local anesthesia, a specialized interventional radiologist guides a tiny catheter through a pinhole in the wrist or groin directly to the fibroid blood vessels.
Microscopic particles block the blood supply, causing the fibroids to shrink and resolve naturally over time, fully preserving your uterine tissue and future fertility.
Request a Clinical Second Opinion
Submit your recent MRI or ultrasound scans. Dr. Ravikumar's clinical team will review your case to confirm if uterine artery embolization is right for you.
