High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

• Non-invasive: High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment that does not require surgical incisions, reducing the risk of infection.
• Non-radiation: HIFU does not use electromagnetic radiation but utilizes high-intensity focused ultrasound to generate heat energy for tissue treatment. This means that, unlike traditional radiation therapy, it does not involve the use of radioactive substances or ionizing radiation.
• No General Anaesthesia: HIFU treatment is performed under sedation or analgesia, eliminating the need for general or local anaesthesia and reducing the risks associated with traditional surgery.
• Preservation of Fertility: When treating uterine fibroids with HIFU, it can precisely locate and target the affected tissue, directly treating it without harming surrounding healthy tissue. This precision allows for preserving the uterus's structure and function, maintaining a woman's fertility. This is an essential advantage for women planning future pregnancies.
• Quick Recovery: Since no incisions are made during the treatment process, patients typically experience a faster recovery compared to other treatment methods.

• For individuals who do not wish to undergo surgery or are not suitable candidates for surgery 
  Due to factors such as age, health, or psychological reasons, non-invasive treatment with High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) can be considered. HIFU minimizes the chances of affecting other organs in the body and reduces psychological burdens.
• For those planning to become pregnant
  HIFU can preserve the uterus and its functions. It offers the advantages of a short post-treatment pregnancy waiting period and the option for natural childbirth in the future.
• Individuals who need a quick recovery to return to their daily lives, 
  Such as working professionals, homemakers, individuals who prioritize appearance, and athletes, can benefit from HIFU. It has a short post-treatment recovery period, minimal pain, and leaves no scars.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment has very few absolute contraindications, which include a history of abdominal liposuction, current pregnancy, and the presence of an Intrauterine Device (IUD).

In certain situations, such as severe anaemia, pelvic inflammatory disease, recent artificial abortion or childbirth, or during menstruation, HIFU treatment may need to be temporarily postponed. It is because patients may require prioritized therapy for other health issues or wait for their bodies to recover to a better condition.
