Re: UAE uterine artery embolization? Has anyone had success with this? I

I had a subserous fibroid that grew rapidly over a few months and we watched and waited but I was told by my female gyn that I should have a full hyst. Made no sense to me after I researched so I consulted two other gyn's, one of which suggested I either do a lap procedure and retain my cervix and ovaries or he would refer me to an interventional radiologist to see if I were a candidate for UFE. After an MRI with contrast it was determined that I was. I waited and it grew more. When it was over 8 cm I caved and did the UFE. I am quite happy I did. This was fall of 2009. My fibroid has now started to calcify but last ultrasound indicated it was around 6 cm. That may not sound like a lot of shrinkage but in my case it relieved the immediate symptoms I was having and stopped it in its tracks so I did not have to have a hyst. I never had a round tummy even with the fibroid at its largest but it was shoving and squishing things around. My bladder on the MRI pre was SO tiny. 6 mos. later it actually looked somewhat normal again. As far as the polyps? On my cervix... I've had a couple removed in office and it was not painful. They tested benign.
