What is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
It’s ideal for women who want to:
- Avoid major surgery
- Preserve their uterus
- Recover quickly and get back to life
RFA offers excellent results in reducing symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure, often associated with fibroids.
Why choose RFA over traditional Fibroid Surgery?
Same-day Discharge
Most patients go home within hours of the procedure — no overnight hospital stay needed.
Minimal Scarring
Most patients go home within hours of the procedure — no overnight hospital stay needed.
Less Complications
RFA has fewer risks compared to conventional surgery, with significantly less blood loss and reduced risk of infection.
Quick Recovery
Most women return to normal activities within 3 – 5 days, compared to several weeks with traditional surgery.
Uterus-Sparing
RFA treats fibroids while leaving the uterus intact, making it a good option for women who wish to preserve fertility or avoid hysterectomy.

Your RFA Treatment Journey – Step-by-Step
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Meet with Dr Thomas virtually to assess your symptoms, review scans, and determine if RFA is the right fit for you.
Step 2: Travel Coordination
If traveling from another city or country, we help organize your stay and guide you through every step, including pre-procedure instructions.
Step 3: The RFA Procedure
Performed under anaesthesia, the procedure lasts about 30 minutes. Using specialized equipment, heat is delivered directly to the fibroids through a thin probe — safely shrinking them without damaging the uterus.

You’ll rest in our recovery suite and typically go home the same day. Most women resume light activities within a few days, with continued virtual support available post-procedure.
