Description
Nguyen Thi Bich Van and a team of co-authors tested a gentler way to shrink womb growths called fibroids, in a 2026 study. The method blocks the womb's blood vessels through a wrist artery, using a glue-like mix thinned with an oily fluid. Forty patients took part, and scans measured the growths before care and months after.
The main growth shrank by about two thirds on average within three to six months. Blood counts rose, and every patient felt better, with symptoms fully gone for most. No major harm took place during the procedure itself. One major late problem and some short-term pain were reported, and stays in hospital lasted about two days. The authors call the early results hopeful but note the short follow-up and lack of a control group.
