Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I was wondering, how is uterine artery embolization treatment?Doctor's answer:
If uterine fibroids are treated through catheter intervention, it is the least mentally traumatic of all treatment methods. This treatment does not require compression. It involves using reflection catheter technology to puncture the femoral artery at the base of the thigh, guiding the catheter along the blood vessel all the way to the uterine artery. Material is then used to block the uterine artery. Due to the blockage, the fibroid becomes inflamed and forms pus, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect. This treatment requires local anesthesia.
