A common benign uterine condition in women of reproductive age
Safely and simply, without an abdominal incision or wound RFA (radiofrequency ablation)
RFA is described as a safe nonsurgical treatment that preserves the uterus, causes less pain and has a short recovery period.

RFA (radiofrequency ablation)
RFA is described as a safe nonsurgical treatment that preserves the uterus, causes less pain and has a short recovery period.
No abdominal incisionUterine lesions coagulated and ablated
How radiofrequency ablation is performed
Why is radiofrequency ablation safe?
For uterine fibroids and adenomyosis, radiofrequency (RFA) energy is used to coagulate and ablate uterine lesions. Under real-time transvaginal ultrasound guidance, an electrode is placed through the vagina into the lesion, and heat is generated to ablate it. Only the lesion is treated, preserving the uterus without hysterectomy.
Without general anesthesia, performed under sedation
Within 30 minutes to 1 hour a short procedure
After about 4–5 hours of rest, return to daily activities immediately
Pain controlled with an analgesia device minimal pain during treatment
Abdominal pain, heavy menstruation and more: excellent treatment effects
No hysterectomy, no abdominal incision: a treatment that ablates uterine lesions
RFA with Cool-tip® system: Covidien, USA (widely used in countries including the United States and Japan)
The safest, most precise transvaginal ultrasound method
No scars! No resection! Safety first!
Conventional RFA has been performed laparoscopically or under transabdominal ultrasound guidance, and recent HIFU is also mainly guided transabdominally. Transvaginal ultrasound is the most accurate and straightforward way to visualize the uterus. Our clinic uses it to guide RFA for safe, precise treatment.

Radiofrequency ablation treatment example
This example shows treatment of the lesion alone while preserving the uterus, with the fibroid almost disappearing after radiofrequency ablation.
