Uterine fibroids can quietly disrupt your energy, work, confidence, and daily comfort.

Many women are told that a hysterectomy, the removal of the uterus, is the only permanent solution.

But surgery is not always necessary.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a safe, minimally invasive, uterus-preserving treatment that shrinks fibroids without major surgery. Dr Ram Kishore Gurajala offers advanced UFE treatment in Hyderabad and Chennai, helping women choose a non-surgical alternative to hysterectomy.

What This Means for You:

For many women, UFE offers long-term symptom relief while preserving reproductive organs.

How UFE Works:?

  • A thin catheter is guided to the arteries supplying the fibroids.
  • Tiny medical particles are injected to block blood flow.
  • The fibroids shrink gradually over time.
    Symptoms improve progressively.

Is UFE Right for You?

UFE may be suitable if you:

  • Have symptomatic uterine fibroids
  • Wish to avoid hysterectomy
  • Prefer a minimally invasive approach
  • Want faster recovery

Are you looking for non-surgical fibroid treatment in Hyderabad or Chennai

When UFE May Not Be the Right Choice

UFE may not be suitable if:

  • Fibroids are suspected to be cancerous (very rare)
  • There is active pelvic infection
  • Pregnancy is currently ongoing
  • Fibroids are extremely small and asymptomatic

A consultation and imaging evaluation help determine the safest option.

Effectiveness and Recovery

Proven Benefits:
  • 90% Success Rate: The vast majority of women experience significant or total relief from symptoms.
  • Preserves Hormones: Unlike surgery, UFE does not affect the ovaries, so it does not trigger early menopause.
  • Short Recovery: Most women return to their normal routine within 7 to 10 days, compared to 6–8 weeks for surgery.
  • Outpatient Comfort: Usually performed as a same-day or overnight procedure at our Hyderabad and Chennai locations.
Recovery Timeline:
  • First 48 hours: Mild pelvic cramping and fatigue, managed with medication
  • 3–7 days: Return to routine activities and work
  • 4–12 weeks: Fibroids shrink progressively; bleeding and pressure reduce
  • 3–6 months: Maximum symptom improvement in most patients

Fibroids continue to shrink over time, providing sustained relief from symptoms.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions about Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

Most women experience significant improvement in heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure symptoms after UFE.

No. UFE is a uterus-preserving procedure. The uterus is not removed.

Dr Ram Kishore Gurajala provides Uterine Fibroid Embolization consultations and treatment in both Hyderabad and Chennai.

  1. Precision Navigation: Using real-time X-ray guidance, Dr. Ram navigates a thin, flexible tube (catheter) to the uterine arteries that supply blood to the fibroids.
  2. Targeted Blockage: Tiny, biocompatible particles (the size of grains of sand) are injected into these arteries.
  3. Fibroid Shrinkage: These particles lodge in the vessels, cutting off the oxygen and nutrients the fibroids need to grow.
  4. Symptom Relief: As the fibroids shrink over the following weeks and months, heavy bleeding stops, and pelvic pressure is relieved.
  5. No Incisions: There are no surgical scars and no need for general anesthesia.

Yes. Because the uterus is preserved, most women continue to have regular periods, though they are typically much lighter and more manageable than before the procedure.

While many women have had successful pregnancies after UFE, it is currently recommended primarily for women who have completed childbearing. If pregnancy is a future goal, Dr. Ram will discuss the best options for your specific case.

UFE treats all fibroids in the uterus at once by blocking their blood supply. While new fibroids can develop over time, most women experience long-lasting symptom relief and do not require additional treatment.

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of UFE is that the tiny particles travel through the arteries to reach every single fibroid in the uterus. Unlike a myomectomy, where a surgeon has to find and cut out each individual growth, UFE treats the entire "fibroid load" in one go, including the tiny ones that might be missed during surgery.

UFE is an excellent option for women in Hyderabad and Chennai who:

Experience heavy, prolonged periods or anemia due to blood loss.

Suffer from pelvic pain, bloating, or frequent urination caused by large fibroids.

Wish to avoid major surgery (hysterectomy or myomectomy).

Want to preserve their uterus and maintain natural hormonal balance.

Seek a faster recovery to return to work and family life quickly.
