Non-surgical Treatment of Uterine Fibroids with Radiofrequency Ablation

(202) 844-2004

Uterine fibroids are a common condition affecting many women, often causing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure. While various treatment options exist, including hysterectomy and myomectomy, many women seek less invasive alternatives that preserve their uterus and fertility.

The StarMed system of Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) guided by transvaginal ultrasound is non-surgical treatment for uterine fibroids. The procedure is performed in the office under moderate sedation with no incision.

How does RFA target fibroids, and what approaches are used?

RFA utilizes heat generated by radiofrequency energy to destroy fibroid tissue, leading to its shrinkage and symptom relief. This procedure is typically performed under ultrasound guidance, allowing for precise targeting of the fibroids while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. RFA can be performed through different approaches, including laparoscopic (through small incisions in the abdomen) and transcervical (through the cervix).

The Starmed System: A Minimally Invasive Solution

The Starmed system offers a unique approach to transcervical RFA, providing several advantages over traditional methods. It utilizes a special transvaginal/transcervical approach, allowing for outpatient treatment with minimal discomfort and a shorter recovery time. This approach eliminates the need for incisions or general anesthesia, making it a more appealing option for many women.

The Starmed system also incorporates advanced technologies to enhance safety and precision.

Clinical studies have shown that the Starmed system is highly effective in reducing fibroid volume and improving symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and pressure. Patients experience significant improvements in their quality of life and can often return to their normal activities within a short period.

If you are suffering from symptomatic uterine fibroids and seeking a minimally invasive treatment option, the Starmed system may be a suitable choice for you. Call us at the DuPont Clinic at 202-844-2004 to discuss the benefits and risks of this procedure and determine if it is the right option for your individual needs.
