ABSTRACT

Uterine fibroid occurs between 25 and 50% of women over 30 years, and its main clinical manifestations are pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination and confirmed with imaging methods. Traditional treatments are hormone therapy, surgery, and, in recent years, minimal access surgery. The aim of this paper is to report the benefits of the use of embolotherapy for uterine artery as a therapeutic alternative for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids, according to references by various authors.
