09 Apr 2026 | Medicover Hospitals | Visakhapatnam

At Medicover Hospital in Visakhapatnam, our doctors successfully treated a 44-year-old woman suffering from severe menstrual bleeding using the advanced technique of Uterine Artery Embolization. Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE), or Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), is a minimally invasive procedure.

The patient had been experiencing excessive menstrual bleeding for a prolonged period; this significantly impacted her daily life and overall health, ultimately leading to severe anemia.

As her symptoms persisted and her condition worsened, the patient sought specialized medical care in search of effective and long-term treatment solutions.

A Challenging Condition Affecting Quality of Life

Excessive menstrual bleeding has a profound impact on physical health, energy levels, and psychological well-being. If left untreated, it frequently leads to complications such as anemia.

Following a comprehensive medical evaluation and a detailed discussion regarding treatment options, our experts recommended a minimally invasive procedure to effectively manage this condition.

Advanced Minimally Invasive Treatment Approach

Under the leadership of Dr. Sibasankar Dalai, Senior Consultant, Neuro Vascular Intervention, she underwent Uterine Artery Embolization to safely control abnormal uterine bleeding.

During this procedure, specialized medical equipment was utilized to block the blood vessels supplying blood to the uterus. Consequently, excessive bleeding was effectively reduced without the need for major surgery.

The procedure was successfully completed without any complications. This outcome demonstrates the efficacy of modern interventional radiology techniques in the management of complex gynecological conditions.

Rapid Recovery and Improved Health

Following the treatment, the patient experienced significant relief from her symptoms and made a rapid recovery, enabling her to resume her normal daily activities within a short period.

Compared with traditional surgical methods, this procedure involved minimal incisions, resulting in a shorter hospital stay, less discomfort, and rapid wound healing.

Expert Perspective on Uterine Artery Embolization

Dr. Shibashankar Dalai stated that

"Uterine Artery Embolization is a safe and effective treatment option for women suffering from fibroids or abnormal uterine bleeding conditions."

He emphasized that this technique preserves the uterus, reduces recovery time, and offers a reliable alternative to major surgery while delivering long-term symptom relief.
