CHS is looking forward to this expansion. Uterine Fibroid Embolization Performed for the First Time in Trenton at Capital Health System Capital Health System recently moved its 911 Communications Center fIssam Moubarak, MD, an interventional radiologist, recently performed the first uterine fibroid embolization in Trenton at Capital Health System. The procedure represents a fundamentally new approach to the treatment of symptomatic fibroids.
Fibroids can range in size from very tiny to the size of a watermelon or larger.
While they do not always cause symptoms, their size and location can lead to problems for some women, including pain, heavy bleeding, and urinary and gastrointestinal symptoms. Many women do not experience serious problems and do not seek treatment, while some can be treated with medication. Some patients are treated with hormone therapy. This may induce menopause-like symptoms and rapid regrowth of fibroids when therapy is discontinued. Additionally, fibroids grow back several years after myomectomy in 10 to 30 percent of cases.
