At Trinity Women’s Clinic, we offer Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) as an advanced, minimally invasive treatment for women suffering from uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. RFA is designed to effectively relieve symptoms while preserving the uterus, making it an appealing option for women who wish to avoid major surgery and maintain their reproductive potential.
What is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses controlled thermal energy to target and destroy abnormal uterine tissue. By delivering heat directly into fibroids or adenomyotic lesions, RFA causes the treated tissue to shrink gradually over time, reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Unlike traditional surgical procedures, RFA treats the affected tissue without removing the uterus, resulting in less trauma to surrounding healthy tissue and a faster recovery.
Conditions Treated with RFA
Uterine Fibroids
Fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that may cause:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent urination
- Abdominal bloating
- Pain during intercourse
- Fertility-related concerns
RFA offers a uterus-preserving alternative for women seeking symptom relief without undergoing a hysterectomy.
Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis occurs when the tissue lining the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, leading to symptoms such as:
- Severe menstrual cramps
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Enlarged uterus
- Painful menstruation that affects daily activities
For carefully selected patients, RFA can significantly reduce symptoms and improve overall comfort.
Benefits of RFA
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Preserves the uterus
- No large surgical incision
- Less blood loss compared to conventional surgery
- Reduced postoperative pain
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster return to daily activities
- Gradual improvement in symptoms as the treated tissue shrinks
- Potential fertility preservation in appropriately selected patients
Who Is a Candidate for RFA?
RFA may be suitable for women who:
- Experience bothersome symptoms from fibroids or adenomyosis
- Wish to avoid hysterectomy
- Prefer a minimally invasive treatment option
- Desire a quicker recovery period
- Have not achieved adequate symptom control with medication
- Want to preserve their uterus for personal or reproductive reasons
A comprehensive evaluation, including pelvic ultrasound and, when necessary, MRI, is performed to determine whether RFA is the most appropriate treatment option.
