OBGY Interventional Radiology

OBGY Interventional Radiology (IR) procedures provide minimally invasive procedures for gynaecological and obstetric conditions. These include uterine Artery Embolization for refractory postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) and uterine fibroids. These procedures help control bleeding, reduce symptoms, and often avoid the need for major surgery or hysterectomy.

Uterine artery embolization

Uterine artery embolization is a minimally invasive technique for controlling heavy postpartum bleeding and treating uterine fibroids. Tiny particles are utilized in this treatment to limit the blood flow to the bleeding location or fibroids, causing the bleeding to stop and the fibroids to shrink. It is done with a tiny tube placed into the blood vessels and does not require any big surgery. This treatment alleviates symptoms, protects the uterus, and allows for speedier recovery with less pain and a shorter hospital stay.
