Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 [note: duplicate post to Uterinefibroids and Embo groups] Today I had another follow-up ultrasound for a UAE performed 3/28/2001. I have two fibroids, one subserosal and one intramural. I had an easy time with the UAE and was back at work in a week. I had no post-UAE problems – no fever, no infection, no unusual discharge, minimal pain. The ultrasounds have shown that one fibroid shrunk from about 6x6 before the UAE, down to 5x5 at 3 months post, and now 4x4. The second is similar: roughly 5.5 to 4.5 to 4.0. The ultrasound technician said the fibroids appeared to be calcified now, so I'm not sure if they'll shrink any further. I am glad I chose this approach because I avoided major surgery, kept my uterus, and got relief from symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
