Uterine Varicose Veins Treatment with Interventional Catheterization
Are you experiencing chronic pelvic pain unrelated to your menstrual cycle? Does the pain increase at the end of the day or when standing for long periods? These symptoms may indicate uterine varices, a condition that occurs due to the enlargement of veins surrounding the uterus and ovaries, and is one of the common causes of chronic pelvic pain in women.
But don’t worry. The treatment for varicose veins today no longer requires surgery or general anesthesia. The issue can be eliminated with a simple interventional radiology procedure through a very small opening. Local anesthesia, or conscious sedation, makes you completely comfortable during treatment. Uterine varicose vein treatment with interventional catheterization is performed only by specialists in interventional radiology, such as Dr. Amr El-Sakka, one of the experts in this field in Egypt, with extensive experience and guaranteed results without surgery or suffering.

Interventional Catheterization for Uterine Varicose Veins
Treating uterine varices with interventional catheterization no longer requires surgery or hospitalization. It can now be done through a simple procedure known as Embolization, performed in an outpatient clinic without the need for general anesthesia.
In this procedure, an interventional radiologist carefully inserts a very fine catheter through the femoral vein, guides it using imaging until it reaches the enlarged veins in the pelvic area, and then permanently closes these veins, preventing blood reflux.
The Result: Blood flow to the enlarged veins is stopped, leading to the elimination of pain and improvement in circulation in the area, which gradually reduces symptoms.
Procedure Time and Recovery: The procedure typically takes less than an hour, and the patient can return home and resume normal activities the same day without a long recovery period.

Steps of Uterine Varicose Vein Treatment with Interventional Radiology
Before starting the treatment, the doctor conducts precise imaging tests such as ultrasound (sonar), CT scans, or MRI to accurately identify the affected veins and blood flow patterns. You may be advised to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, before the procedure.
The steps for uterine varicose vein treatment with interventional catheterization are as follows:
You will receive a mild sedative to help you relax, along with a local anesthetic injection at the entry point (either in the groin or wrist, depending on where the catheter is inserted).
Dr. Amr El-Sakka, the interventional radiologist, makes a very small incision in the skin, then inserts a fine catheter, which is guided by imaging to reach the affected veins in the pelvic area.
A special dye is injected into the blood vessels to highlight the blood flow under the imaging system, allowing the doctor to precisely locate the varicose veins.
After accurately identifying the location, the doctor introduces treatment materials called Embolic Agents, such as:
Metal coils (Coils): Placed inside the vein to close it permanently.
Balloons: Used to temporarily or permanently close the blood vessel.
Gelatin foam: A material that naturally dissolves after a few days.
Liquid glue: Acts as a medical adhesive to close abnormal vessels quickly.
Once the blood flow inside the affected veins is stopped, the catheter is removed, and the entry site is sealed with a small adhesive bandage, without any stitches. The patient typically can return home the same day and resume daily activities normally.
