Is Uterine Artery Embolization An Effective Technique For Treating Uterine Fibroids?
Open myomectomy is better.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a relatively new technique that has been used in the management of symptomatic fibroids. UAE has been shown to resolve bleeding abnormalities and pain. It has not been routinely recommended for the treatment of infertile women. Although successful pregnancies after the procedure have been reported, the precise effects of UAE on fertility are not known. Temporary and permanent ovarian failure have also been reported post procedure.
If you want to conserve the fertility then open myomectomy is a better option.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
