A Uterine Fibroid Embolisation requires only an overnight hospital stay ๐ Providing significant relief from fibroids-related symptoms, hereโs what you can expect post-procedure:
๐ธ Bleeding from the uterus stops almost immediately.
๐ธ After the procedure, there is a dull ache in the lower abdomen. This is similar to bad period pain which is why we admit patients overnight for pain control.
๐ธ Improving by the next day, this pain is easily controlled with medication and disappears over a short period of time.
๐ธ The skin incision used to perform the embolisation is so small that there is no need for stitches and is almost invisible within a few weeks.
๐ธ Patients will go home as soon as they are comfortable and pain-free the day after the procedure
