Hysterectomy & Alternative Options
While a hysterectomy can be a life-saving surgery for women with certain types of cancer or uterine hemorrhage, there are many alternatives for treating benign uterine conditions.
New Technologies, More Options
The advantages of less invasive procedures may include:
- Fertility preservation (embolization)
- Lower risk
- quicker recovery
- reduced expense
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)
Clinically proven to be successful in reducing the major symptoms of uterine fibroids including pain, excessive and prolonged bleeding and frequent urination, UFE is an exciting alternative to hysterectomy.
UFE is performed by an interventional radiologist -- a physician who uses X-rays and other imaging techniques to diagnose and treat conditions without surgery. Minimally invasive, UFE only requires a small nick to the skin, through which a catheter is threaded into the blood vessels that supply the fibroid(s). Tiny particles released into the blood vessel, which cut off the blood supply to the fibroid, causing it to shrink. This procedure takes less than one hour, and most patients are back to work within a week to 10 days.
Clinical studies reveal that up to 96% of women treated with UFE reported being satisfied with the procedure. Following UFE, fibroids shrink to an average of 48-78%. Most women experience a significant reduction in pelvic pain, menstrual bleeding, and frequency of urination after this procedure. 
The potential benefits of UFE:
- Decreased pelvic pain and pressure
- Decreased menstrual bleeding from symptomatic fibroids
- Improved urinary function
- Preservation of the uterus
- Return to work and/or activities sooner
- Shorter healing time (compared to hysterectomy)
- Shorter hospital stay (compared to hysterectomy)
- Significant improvement in patient's physical and emotional well-being
Menopause
Between the ages of 45 and 55, many women go through changes in their menstrual cycle. It is very important that women exercise and follow a healthy diet during menopause and beyond. Our gynecologists can further assist women going through menopause through the use of hormone therapies, aimed at relieving the symptoms.
