Women’s Health at VIR Chicago encompasses a range of specialized treatments designed to address various conditions unique to women. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, minimally invasive solutions that enhance the quality of life and well-being of our patients. Our team of experts uses the latest techniques to diagnose and treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, pelvic congestion syndrome, and more, ensuring personalized care for every patient.
Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)
Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat Uterine Fibroids and Adenomyosis. This technique involves blocking the blood supply to the fibroids or adenomyosis, causing them to shrink and alleviate symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure. At VIR Chicago, our specialists perform UAE with high precision, offering an effective alternative to traditional surgery with shorter recovery times.
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS), also known as Pelvic Venous Disease, is a condition characterized by chronic pelvic pain due to varicose veins in the pelvis. Our team uses advanced embolization techniques to block these veins, providing significant pain relief and improving quality of life for affected women.
May-Thurner Syndrom
May-Thurner Syndrome involves the compression of the iliac vein by the overlying artery, leading to pain and swelling in the legs. Iliac Vein Stenting is a procedure used to relieve this compression and restore normal blood flow. At VIR Chicago, we utilize the latest stenting techniques to ensure effective treatment and quick recovery.
Abdominal Wall Endometriosis
Abdominal Wall Endometriosis occurs when endometrial tissue grows on the abdominal wall, causing pain and discomfort. Our specialists use minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat this condition, providing relief from symptoms and improving patient outcomes.
Infertility and Fallopian Tube Recanalization
Infertility and Fallopian Tube Recanalization is a procedure aimed at treating blockages in the fallopian tubes, a common cause of infertility. At VIR Chicago, we perform recanalization to reopen the tubes, increasing the chances of natural conception and helping women achieve their dream of pregnancy.
