The invasive treatment segment was valued at USD 1.74 billion in 2018. The demand for invasive treatment is increasing due to several reasons, including an increase in incidences of uterine fibroid among women. Moreover, traditional surgical procedures provide an opportunity for physicians to accurately remove the fibroids with minimal risks compared with any other alternative treatments. Invasive treatment methods also offer a permanent solution to fibroids and can provide relief from debilitating symptoms.
However, the preference for invasive treatment methods also depends on the size, number, and location of fibroids, the patient's age, reproductive status, and other related factors. Despite the advantages of invasive treatment methods, minimally invasive and noninvasive treatments such as MRgFUS are gaining popularity due to their reduced recovery time, lower risk of complications, and minimal scarring. Thus, the increasing popularity of minimally invasive and noninvasive treatment will hamper the growth of the invasive treatment segment of the global market size during the forecast period.
