Blocked Fallopian Tubes and Nonsurgical Fibroid Treatment at USA Vascular Centers

Around 40% of women experience infertility because of blocked fallopian tubes. Similarly, fibroids are abnormal benign tumors that grow in or on the surface of the uterus. Fibroids are the cause of significant abdominal pain, with women experiencing heavy periods and additional symptoms when affected.

Blocked Fallopian Tubes Treatment

Blockages can lead to permanent scarring and adhesions of the tubes and ovaries over time. aparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive and opens the blocked tubes via inserting a needle into your abdomen to fill it with carbon dioxide, which expands abdominal cavity, creating room for surgery.

Nonsurgical Fibroid Treatment

While fibroids tend to shrink and disappear on their own, after a certain amount of time, your doctor may decide to prescribe medication. Medication is often the safest course of treatment and has the added benefit being nonsurgical, as opposed to hysterectomies and myomectomies.

Typical medications doctors prescribe to treat fibroids include

Tranexamic acid - It is only considered when levonorgestrel intrauterine systems are not suitable. A small oral pill taken three to four times a day, Tranexamic acid works by minimizing bleeding of the womb lining, which causes fibroids to shrink over time.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRHas) are a type of drug prescribed by doctors to help shrink fibroids. GnRHas like goserelin acetate are hormones administered via injection into the brain. They affect the pituitary gland which halts production of estrogen in the ovaries. It can also relieve symptoms of pressure in the womb area.

Ulipristal acetate is a type of medication taken orally, once a day, for up to three months. The drug relieves period pains and abnormal discharge while causing your fibroids to shrink.

You should take ulipristal acetate during the first week of menstruation for the month.
