Should use embolism or surgical removal? Which one less risk?

Answer:

Hi, an 8cm fibroid can potentially be treated (not removed) with uterine artery embolization (UAE). It is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the blood supply to the fibroid, causing it to shrink over time. However, the suitability of UAE depends on various factors, including the size and location of the fibroid, the patient’s overall health, and reproductive plans. The treatment is individualized and patient needs proper assessment by a Gynaecologist before embarking on such treatment.
