Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) is a treatment that does not require surgery. It is a way to help women who have growths in the uterus called uterine fibroids. The treatment uses a tube that is placed into the blood vessels that bring blood to the uterus. Tiny particles are then sent through the tube to block the blood flow to the fibroids. This makes the fibroids get smaller over time. UAE can help with problems like bleeding during periods, pain in the lower belly pressure in the pelvis and needing to go to the bathroom often. It avoids the cuts that are usually needed in regular surgery.

Prof. Dr. Zaheer Sherazi offers care in a medical field called Interventional Radiology. This care is for women who want a treatment that does not involve surgery for their fibroids. Each patient is checked carefully with tests and imaging scans. This helps decide if UAE is the choice for each individual. Using imaging and planning each treatment UAE can be a good option, for the right patients instead of traditional surgery.
