Minimally invasive fibroids treatment in London offers an advanced solution for women suffering from fibroids. Dr. Saurabh Phadnis uses the latest techniques to provide effective, non-invasive options for treating fibroids, allowing for faster recovery and minimal disruption to daily life.
Fibroids treatment involves various methods to manage and alleviate symptoms caused by uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths in the uterus.
Minimally invasive treatments such as uterine artery embolization (UAE) and laparoscopic myomectomy focus on shrinking or removing fibroids through smaller incisions or no incisions at all, reducing recovery time and risks compared to traditional surgery.
Reduced Recovery Time: Patients experience a much quicker return to normal activities, with mild discomfort and light activities manageable within a few days.
Minimal Scarring: Small incisions or no incisions at all ensure faster healing with reduced visible scars.
Lower Risk of Complications: These treatments generally involve less blood loss, fewer risks of infection, and a lower chance of other complications compared to traditional surgery.
Faster Relief from Symptoms: Symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure improve quickly, often within days or weeks.
Initial Consultation: Dr. Phadnis will assess your symptoms, medical history, and fibroids using imaging techniques (ultrasound or MRI).
Procedure Overview: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options include:
Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): Block blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink.
Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Remove fibroids through small incisions.
MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound (FUS): Non-invasive technique using sound waves to destroy fibroids.
Sedation and Anaesthesia: Most procedures are performed with local anaesthesia or light sedation, ensuring comfort with minimal recovery time.
Symptoms like heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and bloating may significantly affect daily life. Dr. Phadnis will assess your fibroids and create a tailored treatment plan.
Most patients experience immediate relief from symptoms. Cramping or spotting may occur temporarily, but recovery is quick, and most patients return to light activities within a few days.
Immediate Aftercare: Post-procedure observation for a few hours to ensure comfort. Most patients go home the same day.
First Week: Mild cramping or spotting may occur. Most patients can resume light activities within 1-2 days.
1-2 Months Post-Treatment: Significant improvement in symptoms, with full recovery occurring within 4-6 weeks.
Long-Term Results: Fibroids continue to shrink, with most patients reporting lasting relief after treatment.
Ideal candidates include women with fibroid-related symptoms (heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination) who wish to avoid traditional surgery.
Minimally invasive treatments are particularly suitable for women with fibroids in accessible locations. However, large fibroids or those in difficult-to-reach areas may require different approaches.
Cost Range: £3,000 to £7,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure and healthcare facility.
Factors Influencing Cost: Procedure type (UAE vs. laparoscopic myomectomy), anaesthesia, hospital fees, and post-treatment care.
Insurance Coverage: Many UK health insurance providers cover fibroids treatments. Confirm specifics with your provider.
Experience and Specialisation: Dr. Phadnis is highly experienced in minimally invasive fibroids treatments, providing personalized care to achieve the best outcomes.
What to Look for in a Surgeon: Look for expertise in minimally invasive techniques, positive patient reviews, and a comprehensive treatment approach.
