Name: Vivekananda Hospital Medical Services
Brand: Vivekananda Hospital
Rating: 4.8 (2200 reviews)

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a non‑surgical, minimally invasive procedure that treats uterine fibroids by blocking their blood supply, causing them to shrink. It is an excellent option for women who wish to preserve their uterus but do not plan future pregnancy. At Vivekananda Hospital, UAE is performed by experienced interventional radiologists in collaboration with Dr. Shalini B. This guide provides a transparent breakdown of UAE costs in Hyderabad, what to expect, recovery, and insurance coverage.

📌 Quick Facts: UAE cost in Hyderabad ranges from ₹80,000 to ₹1,50,000 at Vivekananda Hospital (all‑inclusive). Hospital stay is 1‑2 days, and most women return to work in 1‑2 weeks. Success rates for symptom improvement are 80‑90%.

What is Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)?

UAE is a non‑surgical procedure performed by an interventional radiologist. A tiny catheter is inserted through a small incision in the groin or wrist and guided to the uterine arteries. Tiny particles (embolic agents) are injected to block the blood vessels supplying the fibroids. Without blood supply, fibroids shrink and symptoms improve.

Key advantages:

No incisions only a tiny puncture site
No general anaesthesia (conscious sedation)
Uterus preserved
Faster recovery than open surgery
No visible scars

Important note: UAE is generally not recommended for women who wish to become pregnant in the future, as it may affect ovarian function and pregnancy outcomes.
