Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that grow in the wall or muscle of the uterus and commonly affect women of reproductive age. This condition can cause various symptoms, including lower abdominal pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, abdominal enlargement, and even fertility problems.
With advancements in medical technology, fibroid treatment no longer always requires conventional surgery. Non-invasive methods such as HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) are now available to destroy fibroid tissue without surgical incisions.
As part of its commitment to providing international-standard healthcare services, Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital has 7 Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) specialists certified in HIFU for uterine fibroid treatment. All of these doctors have also undergone intensive hands-on training in China with leading HIFU experts, ensuring their competence and skills meet global standards.

HIFU-Certified OBGYN Doctors for Uterine Fibroid Treatment at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital
HIFU is a non-invasive therapy that uses high-intensity ultrasound waves to treat fibroids without surgery or incisions. This technology works by precisely directing ultrasound waves at targeted fibroid tissue, generating thermal energy that destroys fibroid cells.
The procedure is designed to specifically target problematic tissue while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. Once the fibroid cells are destroyed, the remaining tissue is gradually processed and naturally absorbed by the body.

How Does HIFU Work to Treat Fibroids Without Surgery?
HIFU is one of the modern solutions for treating uterine fibroids without surgical intervention. This technology utilizes high-intensity focused ultrasound waves directed at fibroid tissue, destroying targeted cells without any incisions.
In general, here is how HIFU works in treating uterine fibroids:
1. Highly Precise Ultrasound Focus
Ultrasound waves are accurately directed at a small focal point within the fibroid tissue, with precision down to the millimeter. This ensures targeted treatment of the affected area.
2. Conversion of Energy into High Heat
At the focal point, ultrasound energy is converted into heat reaching approximately 60–90°C. This heat plays a crucial role in destroying fibroid tissue.
3. Coagulation and Fibroid Cell Death
The high temperature causes protein coagulation and necrosis (cell death) in the targeted fibroid tissue, without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
4. Natural Absorption by the Body
After the fibroid cells are destroyed, the remaining tissue is gradually broken down and naturally absorbed by the body. This process usually occurs over several weeks up to approximately 90 days, allowing the fibroid size to shrink naturally over time.
