Uterine fibroid embolisation has been used in the Western world since many years and has stood test of time in randomised clinical trials. The submucosal fibroid or the subendometrial fibroid which causes menorrhagia responds the best to uterine artery embolisation.

Uterine fibroid embolisation is a day care procedure done through a small puncture in the femoral artery in the groin. Procedure is done under local anaesthesia.
