Minimally invasive treatment for selected gynaecological and pelvic conditions
Interventional radiology offers minimally invasive treatment options for certain conditions affecting women's reproductive and pelvic health. Using imaging guidance, specialised procedures can target abnormal blood vessels or other areas without the need for conventional open surgery in selected cases.
Dr. Yugal Goyal provides women's health interventions in Siliguri, including uterine fibroid embolization, adenomyosis embolization and fallopian tube recanalization.
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain and other symptoms.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces blood flow to the fibroids. A catheter is guided into the blood vessels supplying the uterus, and small embolization particles are used to reduce the blood supply to the fibroids.
Over time, reduced blood flow can cause the fibroids to shrink.
Adenomyosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. It can be associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods and chronic pelvic pain.
In selected cases, embolization may be considered to reduce blood flow to the affected uterine tissue and help manage symptoms.
The suitability of the procedure depends on the severity of symptoms, imaging findings and the patient's individual treatment goals.
Blocked fallopian tubes can be one of the factors associated with difficulty becoming pregnant.
Fallopian Tube Recanalization is a minimally invasive image-guided procedure that may be used to open certain types of blockage in the fallopian tubes. A small catheter is carefully guided through the reproductive tract to the affected tube.
Whether recanalization is appropriate depends on the location and type of blockage and the overall fertility assessment.
Not every pelvic or gynaecological condition requires an interventional procedure. Imaging findings, symptoms, medical history and treatment goals all need to be considered before deciding on an appropriate approach.
Where an interventional treatment is suitable, image guidance allows the procedure to be performed with careful targeting and planning.
Uterine fibroid embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces blood flow to uterine fibroids, helping them shrink over time.
Selected fibroids can be treated using minimally invasive procedures such as UFE. Whether it is appropriate depends on the size, number and location of the fibroids, symptoms and individual circumstances.
It is an embolization procedure intended to reduce blood flow to areas affected by adenomyosis and may be considered for selected patients with significant symptoms.
Fallopian tube recanalization is an image-guided procedure that may help open certain blockages in the fallopian tubes.
No. The location and type of blockage, along with the overall fertility assessment, determine whether the procedure may be appropriate.
