Large Fibroid
I had UFE 3 years ago for mutlple fibroids. I was 48 and the IR , who was highly trained, felt it would buy me enough time by shrinking the existing fibroids and then in a few years I would probably hit menopause. It did work and my uterus went from a nearly 5 month size to near normal. However, after 18 months I developed new fibroids and started having intermittent problems until this past July when I had a fibroid that just started growing out of control. I had my hysterectomy Aug. 18th and I don't regret doing what I did. If I had a crystal ball then I probably would have done something different. There are some good alternatives to having major surgery. Some work and some don't .
Good luck.
TAH, kept ovaries
