Yes. Many women have delivered healthy babies after embolisation, many of whom were told that they would never be able to conceive. Each woman who wishes to conceive is evaluated individually by our experienced team of gynaecologists and fertility specialists who advise our patients whether UFE or myomectomy are the better option in their opinion.<\/p>\n

MRI is an extremely useful microinvasive imaging test for fibroids. It provides the best quality images of the uterus, ovaries, and other soft tissue structures in the pelvis, allowing the radiologist to plan the UAE procedure and address any co-existing conditions. <\/p>\n

All the specialists on our panel are extremely experienced in the assessment of fibroids and the post-operative care of women who have had an embolisation. The Fibroid Treatment Clinic requires all women considering UFE to have the full benefit of an unbiased opinion. The gynaecologist that we refer you to will assess your suitability for UAE and advise you if another treatment or indeed no treatment is necessary. They run independent practices and will always act and advise in your best interest. <\/p>\n

As long as your CD4 count is above 200, we expect no complications and you will still be eligible for the UAE procedure. <\/p>\n

Yes, it does. Small and large fibroids will die or infarct after UFE. Larger fibroids will not disappear when dead but they will shrink substantially.<\/p>\n

The procedure has been performed for over 30 years. More than 100,000 women have had UFE with documented results. It has only recently become more widely available in South Africa although it is very well accepted in all developed countries as a first-line therapy for fibroids. UAE has been accepted by the major gynaecological and radiological associations of North America, Europe and Australia. It is funded by their private and public health systems. <\/p>\n

The actual procedure time is about 20 minutes but it will take about an hour from the time that you are admitted to the surgery ward until you are able to leave theatre due to anaesthetic and post-operative recovery time.<\/p>\n

UFE causes a deep cramping pain similar to a bad period pain. This is easily managed with the strong pain medication that we will provide in the ward and that we will provide to you when you are discharged from the hospital.<\/p>\n

No. For the UAE procedure, our anaesthetist puts our patients under conscious sedation. This means that you will be asleep but not ventilated. You will have no memory of the procedure.<\/p>\n

Small fibroids may disappear and occasionally the body will expel some fibroids after UFE. Most fibroids however remain in the uterus as small balls of scar tissue causing no further problems or discomfort.<\/p>\n

The particles that are infused into the uterine arteries remain inside the uterus forever. They are specifically sized so that they cannot be displaced or shifted. They simply become incorporated into the uterus over time.<\/p>\n

UAE is proving to be a very effective treatment for adenomyosis<\/a>. Although it is not quite as effective as with fibroids. It offers significant relief for about 50% of women who undergo the procedure. Long-term results are not yet available but it is currently an accepted procedure in the UK under the National Health Service.
