Overview
Our Women’s Health & Pelvic Interventions service provides comprehensive, minimally invasive solutions for a variety of pelvic and gynecologic conditions. Using advanced image-guided techniques(including ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy)our team delivers precise diagnosis and targeted treatment with exceptional accuracy.
We manage conditions such as pelvic pain, uterine fibroids, pelvic venous congestion, ovarian cysts, and other complex pelvic disorders. These procedures are performed through tiny needle-sized access points, avoiding the need for traditional surgery. Patients benefit from reduced pain, shorter recovery times, and faster return to daily activities.
With a patient-centered approach and the latest interventional technologies, we offer safe, effective, and modern treatment options designed to improve comfort, health, and quality of life for women at every stage.
Advantages
- Minimally Invasive Treatments: Procedures like uterine artery embolization and image-guided ablation reduce the need for open surgery.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients can resume work within 1–3 days.
- Effective Symptom Relief: Treatments reduce heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary issues, and improve fertility outcomes
- High Success Rate: Procedures such as RFA/MWA have success rates over 85% for fibroid treatment.
- Preserves Uterus and Fertility: Many women achieve successful pregnancies post-treatment with minimal impact on ovarian reserve.
- Short Hospital Stay: Most procedures are outpatient or require only a brief hospital stay.
Treatments
Uterine Fibroid Embolization
Uterine Fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) growths in the uterus which may lead to various symptoms including heavy and painful periods, going to the toilet frequently, pelvic pressure, or infertility. Uterine artery embolisation, also known as uterine fibroid embolisation, is a procedure that involves blocking the blood vessels to the fibroid which causes the fibroid to shrink and reduces any symptoms it may be causing. This avoids having to have your uterus removed. The procedure is performed by an interventional radiologist, rather than a surgeon and is an alternative to having surgery.
Fibroids are common and most do not require treatment. However, if your fibroids are large or your symptoms are not improving with less invasive treatments, your GP will discuss more invasive treatment options with you. If surgery is an option, you gynaecologist will discuss whether you are suitable. In most women, UAE is also an option and this will be discussed with you by an interventional radiologist. UAE is non-surgical and does not remove the fibroids. Rather, the treatment causes them to shrink.

Embolization of Adenomyosis
Recanalization of blocked fallopian tubes
FAQ
1. Are these procedures non-surgical?
Yes. All four interventions; Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), Ovarian Vein Embolisation, Adenomyosis Embolization, and Fallopian Tube Recanalization, are non-surgical, image-guided procedures performed by interventional radiologists.
