At the recent fibroid awareness event, “A Night in Full Bloom,” Dr. Yan Katnelson, founder and CEO of USA Fibroid Centers, delivered a powerful speech on the urgent need to educate women about their fibroid treatment options. With millions of women undergoing major surgeries like hysterectomies for fibroid disease, Dr. Katsnelson emphasizes the importance of accessible, non-invasive treatments like uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), which allows women to avoid major surgery and preserve their uterus.
Fibroid disease can have a significant impact on women’s quality of life. Common symptoms include heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, fatigue, and infertility. These symptoms can lead to emotional distress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, fibroids can affect relationships, careers, and overall well-being.
UFE offers a minimally invasive alternative to hysterectomy with a shorter recovery time, lower risk of complications, and preservation of fertility. There are many misconceptions about fibroids and their treatment. Many women believe that hysterectomy is the only way to treat fibroids, but this is not the case. UFE offers a safe and effective alternative.
Dr. Katsnelson is committed to changing the future of fibroid care by promoting education, research, and access to innovative treatments like UFE. He believes that no woman should have to suffer in silence or undergo an unnecessary hysterectomy when less invasive options like UFE are available.
