Dilemma!! Fibroids: ablation vs hysterectomy (+ ovary removal?)

It will. Interventional radiology is an excellent solution to resolving fibroids. I know what you mean though. I was offered the Depo shot as well as progesterone BC pills. It did not make a lick of sense to add any more hormones to the mix since I was a hormonal mess. Two docs dropped me for non compliance but I don't care. Shame on them for trying to force what I didn't want and pushing drugs that I think they know would not have helped me. Ufe gave me my life and body back. I know it will help you. Be sure to get a very experienced IR.

Wish I had read up on EA before going through it, but lesson learned. I actually asked my gyno about UFE before EA and she said the EA would work. Was so distraught from the constant flooding I was desperate and she scheduled me the next morning. Five days after EA I went to see IR, without asking gyno, hopefully it will prove worth it for me.
