What is uterine artery embolization

Uterine artery embolization is a form of treatment for uterine fibroids and is used in the clinic for the treatment of uterine fibroids. Uterine artery embolization is usually done through radiological intervention, placing an arterial catheter inside the uterine artery and then pushing in an embolic agent, which can block the blood supply of uterine fibroids and make the fibroids shrivel up until they disappear, and this kind of treatment has fewer side effects on the patients and does not cause any special discomforts. Uterine fibroids are usually caused by abnormal sex hormones, genetic factors, etc. They usually cause uterine bleeding, pain, leucorrhoea and abdominal masses, etc. They can be treated by surgery such as myomectomy under the guidance of doctors. In addition, when uterine artery embolization is performed in the clinic, the mind should be relaxed, without excessive tension, and after the operation, attention should be paid to keep warm, scientific and regular work and rest.
