RIVEA Vascular Institute | 10 December 2025

Uterine fibroids are one of the most common conditions affecting women, yet many are unaware that surgery is not the only treatment option. In this video, Dr. Arjun Reddy explains what uterine fibroids are, the symptoms they can cause, and why treatment should be tailored to each patient's needs rather than automatically leading to surgery.

Learn about Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), a well-established minimally invasive treatment that works by reducing the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink over time while preserving the uterus. The video also discusses when hysterectomy or myomectomy may be appropriate, the potential long-term considerations of surgery, and how advanced image-guided technology supports precise UFE procedures. If fibroid symptoms are affecting your quality of life, understanding all available treatment options is the first step toward making an informed decision.
