Gynecology Interventions at CVIC offer advanced, non-surgical treatments for a range of gynecological conditions, using image-guided, minimally invasive techniques. These procedures are designed to treat uterine fibroids, pelvic congestion syndrome, abnormal bleeding, and fertility-impacting disorders—without the risks and recovery time associated with traditional surgery.
With a compassionate and expert team of interventional radiologists and gynecology specialists, CVIC ensures precise diagnosis, effective treatment, and personalized care for every woman.
What Are Gynecology Interventions?
Gynecology interventions are non-invasive or minimally invasive image-guided procedures used to diagnose and treat female reproductive system disorders. Using tools like ultrasound, fluoroscopy, CT, and MRI, these interventions offer alternatives to hysterectomy and laparoscopic surgery, especially for patients seeking uterus-sparing options or faster recovery.
Key Benefits of Gynecology Interventions at CVIC:
• Uterus-sparing treatments—ideal for women who wish to retain fertility
• Minimally invasive with no or small incisions
• Shorter hospital stays and faster recovery
• Excellent alternative to hysterectomy and laparoscopic surgery
• Reduced pain, scarring, and complications
• Outpatient or day-care procedures in many cases
Conditions Treated with Gynecology Interventions
1. Uterine Fibroids (Leiomyomas)
Benign tumors in the uterus that cause heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure symptoms. Treated with Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE).
2. Adenomyosis
A condition where endometrial tissue grows into the uterine muscle, causing pain and heavy periods. Managed effectively with UAE.
3. Pelvic Congestion Syndrome
Chronic pelvic pain due to varicose veins in the pelvis. Treated with embolization of ovarian and pelvic veins.
4. Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH)
Severe bleeding after childbirth can be life-threatening. Emergency embolization controls bleeding and saves the uterus.
5. Uterine Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs)
Abnormal blood vessel connections in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding. Treated with selective embolization.
6. Ectopic Pregnancy (Selected Cases)
Non-surgical management of certain ectopic pregnancies using image-guided injection of medication.
Types of Gynecology Interventional Procedures
1. Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)
A non-surgical alternative to hysterectomy for treating fibroids and adenomyosis. Tiny particles are injected into uterine arteries to shrink fibroids.
2. Pelvic Vein Embolization
Used to treat pelvic congestion syndrome. Embolic agents block enlarged ovarian and pelvic veins that cause chronic pain.
3. Embolization for Postpartum Hemorrhage
Emergency uterine artery embolization to stop life-threatening bleeding after childbirth while preserving fertility.
4. Uterine AVM Embolization
Targeted embolization to safely control abnormal bleeding from uterine AVMs without surgery.
5. Fallopian Tube Recanalization
A minimally invasive option to open blocked fallopian tubes and improve fertility in women with proximal tubal block.
6. Image-Guided Aspiration or Drainage
Used for pelvic abscesses, ovarian cysts, or hematomas in the reproductive system, especially in post-operative or infected cases.

How Gynecology Interventions Work at CVIC
Step-by-Step Process:
1. Clinical Assessment & Imaging:
Evaluation through ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis and map the vascular supply or lesion.
2. Procedure Planning:
Patient counseling, hormonal profile review (if required), and selection of the best interventional approach.
3. Procedure Execution:
Performed under local anesthesia or light sedation using ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance. Most are day-care procedures.
4. Recovery:
Minimal pain, early discharge, and quick return to daily activities. Follow-up instructions and care plans are provided.
5. Follow-Up:
Regular imaging and clinical review to monitor outcomes, particularly in fibroid shrinkage or fertility restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is UAE a good alternative to hysterectomy?
Yes. It preserves the uterus, is less invasive, and has shorter recovery compared to hysterectomy.
2. Will I be able to conceive after UAE or tubal recanalization?
Many women do. Fertility depends on other factors as well. Your doctor will guide based on individual evaluation.
3. Is embolization painful?
Some discomfort may occur post-procedure, but it is well-managed with medications and usually lasts 1–3 days.
4. Are these procedures done under general anesthesia?
Most are done under local anesthesia with mild sedation, reducing risks and recovery time.
5. How soon can I resume daily activities?
Usually within 2–5 days, depending on the procedure and individual recovery.
6. Are these procedures safe during or after childbirth?
Yes. Postpartum embolization is a proven life-saving option in cases of severe bleeding.
7. Will I need to stay overnight?
Many interventions are day-care. Some may require short hospital stay based on the procedure.
8. Are these covered by insurance?
Yes. Medically necessary procedures like UAE and PPH embolization are generally covered. Our team will assist with paperwork.
