Uterine fibroid embolization: An analysis of clinical outcomes and impact on patients’ quality of life
UAE offers substantial benefits for symptomatic fibroids, significantly improving HRQoL, symptom severity and pelvic pain scores, making it a valuable alternative to surgery. Complications were minor and short-lived, and the majority of patients were satisfied with the results, with no need for additional treatments. Further research is warranted to generate peri-procedural pain management consensus guidelines, clinical outcomes of radial access, and fertility-related outcomes.
