- Dr. Abadir explains the potential complications of Uterine Fibroid Embolization
Uterine Fibroid Embolization is a safe procedure. There are no incisions. The whole procedure essentially goes through a needle hole where a catheter is inserted into the arteries and down to the arteries that supply the uterus.
Over the long-term, the potential issues with Uterine Fibroid Embolization are that we are taking away the blood supply to the fibroids. The way the body fights infections is with cells that travel around the bloodstream. When they detect an infection, they attack it. They obviously cannot get into the fibroids anymore so there is a risk of infection. To mitigate that risk, we have patients take antibiotics just before our procedure, and then keep them on them for about five to seven days after the procedure. The numbers that are quoted are around a 2% risk of infection. In our experience, it's been much lower possibly because we are generous in our use of antibiotics.

Thank you sir for this information.
Your generosity towards my Infection called Fibroid is incomparable. You assured me of getting healed and surprisingly after 14days of taking the medication i was healed completely. Thanks Dr igho I will keep letting the world know about your RUclips Channel.
I had the procedure done in March and I'm in early menopause now. My obgyn and the radiologist never mentioned this could possibly happen. That would of changed my mind. I feel so foolish for doing this to myself. Is it possible for a specialist to review my case to explain to me what happened. Just desperate for answers.
What problem u are facing?
I got a necrotic infected fibroid after the procedure they had to go in and scraped my cervix and uterus...my blood count is really low I'm weak I would not recommend this treatment yo anyone. Don't do it
I am 45 and am thinking of having UFE. What is the chance of it causing early menopause?
Less likely
it is more likely to happen to those over 45. But then again, menopause normally happens between 45-55 anyways so it could be hard to tell.
