Using live imaging, Dr William Julien threads a small catheter into the uterine arteries and releases tiny particles that reduce blood flow to the fibroids. Without that excess supply, fibroids shrink over time, easing symptoms and improving quality of life, without a hospital stay in most cases.

You may be a candidate if you have one or more of the following:

• Heavy or prolonged periods (soaking pads/tampons frequently)

• Pelvic pressure, bloating, or pain

• Frequent urination or trouble emptying your bladder

• Anaemia related to menstrual blood loss

• Prior advice to consider myomectomy or hysterectomy, but you prefer to keep your uterus

Your SFVA clinician will review your history, imaging (ultrasound/MRI), and personal goals to confirm the safest, most effective plan.

Before you travel: We help organise records, imaging, and scheduling so you minimise days away from home.

Procedure day: Local anaesthesia with light sedation; needle puncture entry; and you are home the same day.

Recovery: expect cramp-like discomfort and pain controlled with medication for a few days, depending on the patient.

Follow-up: Virtual check-ins are available; in-person visits can be coordinated around your travel.

Our billing team will discuss U.S. insurance, self-pay packages, and payment options before you book flights. We aim to make planning straightforward and transparent.
