How does RFA target fibroids, and what approaches are used?

RFA utilizes heat generated by radiofrequency energy to destroy fibroid tissue, leading to its shrinkage and symptom relief. This procedure is typically performed under ultrasound guidance, allowing for precise targeting of the fibroids while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. RFA can be performed through different approaches, including laparoscopic (through small incisions in the abdomen) and transcervical (through the cervix).
