Uterine Fibroids? One Injection Cures It!

What if you could treat large uterine fibroids through a single 2mm entry point, without a single surgical stitch or scar? It sounds like the future, but it is the reality of modern Interventional Radiology at Medanta Lucknow.

Dr. Rohit Agarwal explains a revolutionary procedure often described by patients as the "One Injection Cure"—technically known as Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE).

How Does a "One Injection" Cure Work?

The term "injection" refers to the way we access and treat the fibroids. Instead of making a large incision in your abdomen (like a Myomectomy or Hysterectomy), we use a tiny needle to create a 2mm entry point, usually in the wrist or groin.

• The Access: A thin, flexible tube called a catheter is guided to the blood vessels supplying the uterus.
• The "Injection": Tiny embolic particles are released into the arteries feeding the fibroids.
• The Result: These particles block the blood flow. Starved of nutrients and oxygen, the fibroids naturally shrink and "die" over time, while your healthy uterine tissue remains perfectly safe.

UFE vs. Traditional Surgery

Why Patients Choose the Pinhole Path

Aside from avoiding the fear of "going under the knife," UFE offers significant clinical benefits:

• Simultaneous Treatment: UFE treats all fibroids in the uterus at once, regardless of how many there are.
• No Surgical Scars: The 2mm entry point heals naturally, leaving no permanent mark.
• Rapid Symptom Relief: Most women see a dramatic decrease in heavy bleeding and pelvic pressure within 1-2 menstrual cycles.

"Many women are scared when they hear the word 'operation.' Our goal with UFE is to provide the same—if not better—results through a single needle prick." — Dr. Rohit Agarwal

Whether you have a single large fibroid or multiple small ones, UFE is a proven, safe, and effective alternative to surgery.
