9 Amazing Benefits of Embolization

Published On: August 17, 2022

Embolization is a minimally invasive medical procedure that is used to treat a variety of conditions. It involves the insertion of a small catheter into an artery or vein and the delivery of therapeutic agents to a specific area of the body.

The most common type of embolization is arterial embolization, which is used to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, abnormal bleeding, and certain types of cancer.

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is an excellent treatment for adenomyosis. Years ago, hysterectomy was the only available option for patients with adenomyosis. Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) preserves and may even restore fertility.

Vein embolization is less common but may be used to treat conditions such as varicose veins and venous malformations.

Embolization is a safe and effective treatment option with a wide range of potential benefits. Here are 9 amazing benefits of embolization:

Minimally Invasive Procedure: Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure, which means that it involves minimal incisions and scarring. It can be performed on an outpatient basis and does not require a hospital stay.
Safe and Effective: Embolization is a safe and effective treatment option with a low risk of complications. It has been used to treat millions of patients worldwide with excellent results.
Fast Recovery: Embolization is typically associated with a fast recovery time. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.
Minimal Side Effects: Embolization is generally well-tolerated and has minimal side effects. The most common side effect is temporary bruising or pain at the site of the catheter insertion.
Effective Treatment Option: Embolization is an effective treatment option for many conditions. It has been shown to be particularly effective in treating uterine fibroids, abnormal bleeding, and certain types of cancer.
Targeted Treatment: Embolization is a targeted treatment, which means that the therapeutic agents are delivered to a specific area of the body. This helps to minimize the risk of side effects and ensures that the treatment is more effective.
Reduced Risk of Complications: Embolization is associated with a reduced risk of complications when compared to other treatment options. This makes it an attractive option for patients who are at high risk for complications.
Alternative to Surgery: Embolization may be an alternative to surgery for some patients. It can be used instead of surgery or in addition to surgery depending on the individual patient’s situation.
Affordable Treatment Option: Embolization is generally an affordable treatment option. The cost varies depending on the type of procedure and the individual patient’s insurance coverage.

Very professional!! Welcoming, as soon as you come in. The surgery was quick. The scar is very small. I believe this is one of the best first approaches to fibroids from my research vs getting a myomectomy first.

Dr. Gau Gau and his staff were all very professional and friendly. The front desk staff greeted me at arrival and made me feel very welcomed. I was having irregular, heavy cycles, low energy and extreme fatigue due to anemia and frequent urination because of fibroids. I had both fibroids and adenomyosis. I got the UFE (uterine fibroid embolization). I feel like a new person after my procedure. My symptoms have stopped and I have a lot more energy. I'd highly recommend to all dealing with fibroid and adenomyosis health related issues! I appreciate the exceptional customer service and high level of expertise that Dr. Gua Gua offered me.

This center is one of the best practices I've ever been to. The staff are amazingly helpful and genuinely friendly. Dr. Gaugau has THE best bed side manner I have ever experienced. He's very kind and explains things thoroughly in a way I can understand, he's amazingly professional and you can tell he's genuine about caring about your health. The people who work here prioritize your health and well being, and you can tell by how clean and peaceful their office is and the way they treat you. Absolutely recommend.

Very friendly and professional staff. My experience was smooth and nurse Bonnie was very helpful and answered all my questions. Dr Gaugau has excellent bedside manners and shows care for his patients. He took care of all my concerns and provided a better route than a hysterectomy. My overall health has improved tremendously due to his expertise and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a minimally invasive procedure for fibroids/adenomyosis.

Thank God for Dr. Gau Gau and may he and his team be blessed richly!!! I have been suffering with fibroids for 4 years. I had 2 procedures last year, myomectomy hysteryscopia. The 2nd procedure was anightmare!! I woke up on a ventilator.. I was horrified when I woke up needless to say... I started my research and prayed hard. My sign was sent when I heard about this office on 104.1 FM radio. I'm happy to report that I had a very successful procedure from Dr Gau Gau. I've had 2 cycles since the procedure and I am in shock with the success. Please don't think twice if you're suffering with heavy periods, blood clots, extreme cramping etc if you're here reading this. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Huge shout out to the front desk Dawn and Kesha and the lovely nurse Bonnie. May God bless you all...I'm am so relieved.

When I found out I had fibroid I quickly google the best doctor/ center who can help me get rid of it. The fibroid center at image popped up on top of all the others, so I called and make an appointment. That first with the receptionist is what sealed it for me. I think it was Keysha her name was she was courteous, welcoming and professional. When I spoke with Dr. G for the first time he assured me about everything and made me feel at ease about the situation. When I finally go for my procedure the warm welcoming, cleanliness and professionalism made me know that I was going to be ok. Nurse Bonnie and Dr. G did an excellent job with my procedure. It was successful! Excellent team, I highly recommend this center. You won’t regret it like I didn’t. Run don’t walk if you have fibroids to THE FIRBROID CENTER AT IMAGE GUIDE.
