Uterine fibroids are the non-cancerous lumps that grow in uterus. These are very common. In about 70% of the women they remain asymptomatic and do not require surgery. However, in the women who have symptoms they might need to be treated with a surgery when other treatments do not work. In this surgery uterus might need to be removed as a permanent solution. Best alternative for this type of surgery is Uterine Fibroid Embolization. This is a keyhole surgery in which uterus is kept intact and fibroids are removed with a minimally invasive procedure. Dr. Aakash Patel, Interventional Radiologist at Shalby Hospitals Ahmedabad talks about this in detail.
