Non-Surgical Alternative Treatment For Uterine Fibroids
A non-surgical alternative to treating uterine fibroids is available, but not often mentioned to women by their gynecologists.
A big reason is that the procedure is performed by radiologists.
And radiologist Chuck Ray points out UAE is relatively new.
Here's how it works: plastic spheres, similar to the ones in Christmas globe toys, play a critical role in the procedure. The doctor injects them through a tube in the patient’s artery, cutting off the blood supply to the fibroid. There is no surgical incision.
