Uterine fibroids are a common condition experienced by women and can cause various complaints, such as pelvic pain, excessive menstrual bleeding, and a decreased quality of daily activities. For a long time, surgery has often been considered the only treatment option for fibroids, leading many patients to delay treatment due to concerns about surgical incisions, post-operative pain, and long recovery times.
Along with advances in medical technology, more modern and patient-friendly fibroid treatments are now available. RS Mandaya Royal Puri presents HIFU technology as an innovative solution to help treat uterine fibroids without surgery. This approach is designed to reduce discomfort during the procedure while supporting a faster recovery process.

Understanding HIFU at RS Mandaya Royal Puri and Its Cost
HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a non-invasive technology used to treat uterine fibroids without surgery. This technology works by focusing high-intensity ultrasound waves from outside the body directly onto fibroid tissue inside the uterus. At the focal point, the ultrasound energy generates high heat that selectively destroys fibroid cells without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.
In its mechanism, HIFU utilizes a highly precise mapping system to target fibroid tissue accurately. The heat generated triggers a process known as coagulative necrosis in the fibroid cells, allowing the tissue to be effectively destroyed. With its high level of accuracy, HIFU is considered a safe option for treating benign fibroids without incisions or removal of the uterus.
The cost of fibroid surgery at RS Mandaya Royal Puri starts from IDR 90,000,000 (IDR 90 million).
How HIFU Works in Treating Fibroids
The following are the stages of how HIFU technology works in the treatment of uterine fibroids:
- Focusing ultrasound waves: High-intensity ultrasound waves are precisely directed to the fibroid area that has been mapped beforehand.
- Formation of focused heat: The ultrasound energy is converted into high-temperature heat when it reaches the target tissue.
- Destruction of fibroid cells: The heat damages the structure of fibroid cells and triggers coagulative necrosis, allowing the fibroid tissue to be destroyed.
- Protection of healthy tissue: Precise focus control ensures that healthy tissue surrounding the fibroid remains safe during the procedure.
- Natural absorption by the body: The damaged fibroid tissue is gradually absorbed by the body, causing the fibroid size to shrink over time.
Advantages of HIFU Technology for Fibroid Treatment
HIFU offers several advantages in treating uterine fibroids, including:
- Non-invasive without incisions: The procedure is performed without surgery, reducing the risk of infection compared to conventional operations.
- No radiation exposure: HIFU uses ultrasound waves, not electromagnetic radiation or radioactive substances.
- No need for general anesthesia: The procedure is generally performed with mild sedation or analgesia without full anesthesia.
- Preserves female fertility: Precise targeting of fibroids helps maintain the structure and function of the uterus.
- Faster recovery: Without surgical wounds, patients can return to daily activities relatively quickly.
