In Israel, the most gentle method of removing uterine fibroids — uterine artery embolization (UAE) — is widely practiced.
A catheter is inserted through the femoral artery to reach the arteries supplying the fibroid.
A substance is injected that blocks the vessels supplying blood to the tumour. This leads to blockage. The fibroid is deprived of blood supply and gradually ceases to exist.
After UAE, the reproductive function and normal hormonal balance of the woman are fully preserved.
