6 months post UAE status report

[Guest guest]

All,

Today I had my 6 month post UAE ultrasound. Today I consider my UAE about

58% successful. I'll explain. The three things I wanted/needed to fix w/

UAE was: 1) blood clots and heavy bleeding; 2) Urination frequency; 3)

fibroid/stomach reduction. I translate this to 100% success = 33% + 33% +

33%. I no longer have blood clots and heavy bleeding = 33%. I've gained 2

hours sleep which is now 6 hrs maximum sleep w/o having to pee = 15% (I want

8 hours of sleep.). My stomach is mostly all there, but I have achieved 65%

volume reduction in fibroid; pre 8/1/01 my fibroid was ~10cm, had UAE on

8/1/01; 3 months post UAE my fibroid was ~8cm; today my fibroid measured

~7cm. = I'll give this 10% success.

So I consider my UAE ~58% successful at 6 months post UAE. I'm praying to

the " UAE gods " for heavy discharge in the hope my fibroid will slough and BE

GONE!!!!! My discharge is mostly light, I only get a little on about the 8th

day after my first day of period.

I have a mostly subserosal fibroid, partly intramural.

Hi Debbie,

I really like your mathematical approach to fibroids and UAE results.

I am having embolization on Thursday. I am feeling nervous now. I am taking

Wednesday off work to get myself ready (emotionally ) to this procedure. I

hope my results will be positive.

Thank you for your experience.

Our prayers are with you. Keep us posted on outcome and process. I plan to

have procedure in April or May, so hearing your experience will be helpful.

Nina, Good Luck to you with your upcoming UAE. I plan to have UAE in a few

weeks, the drs are comparing notes to be sure that is the right thing for me to

do, but I believe it is. I am sure I will be scared & nervous too. You will be

in my thoughts & prayers. Be sure to let us know how things go. All the best

to you- Elise.

Hi Debbie and Nina,

I'm new to this webgroup and am also considering having a UAE. Do you think

the UAE helps to stop hemorrhaging or does it take a long time to take

effect? (Will I bleed to death waiting for the fibroids to shrink and die?).

Also, do you know how UAE affects fertility?

I appreciate any info. you can provide.

Thanks,

, you should join the " embo " group on yahoo

groups. It is especially for women who have had or

are considering UAE. By the way, do you know what

kind of fibroid you have? I had a small submucousal

fibroid (inside the uterus) causing heavy bleeding,

which is typical of even very small submucousals. I

had it removed a month ago by hysteroscopic resection,

an outpatient procedure with no incision. I had

absolutely no pain after the procedure and was up and

about the same day.

I assume when you say " hemorrhaging " you mean heavy bleeding, blood clots,

and excessive periods. Yes, my blood clots and heavy bleeding went away on

the first period after UAE. I think the rate of effectiveness for curing

heavy bleeding problems w/ UAE is about 90% successful; check the archives

to verify.

None-the-less, you need to find out what kind of fibroids you have; e.g.

submucosal fibroids can be treated w/ an outpatient hysteroscopic resection.

At present, UAE is not recommended for someone that wants to have a baby

after treating the fibroid. In other words, myomectomy is the safer route

for a woman that wants to conceive.

You really need to get on the yahoo groups embo site and look through all

the archives.

Elsie, can you share what steps you went through to arrive at the decision

to have UAE. I am planning to discuss a date for a UAE and I have talked to

only one doctor at the National Naval Medical Center In Bethesda. He has

done 5 of these procedures. I'd like to hear from others on the list serve

as to whether I should talk to the other two doctors at this facility to

determine which doctor is right for me. I want so much for this to be over,

but I don't want to hurriedly force a solution because of my anxiety.

Thanks,

Clayton, yes, main concern is doctor and his experience. Only done 5

procedures. Found out today that the National Naval Medical Center where he

works has professional certification office where I can go and get

information on his training and background. I plan to do that. Will make me

feel more comfortable. Don't know how to find nurses who can tell me about

him, which is what was recommended in several books I read and I noticed

Clayton, yes, main concern is doctor and his experience. Only done 5

procedures. Found out today that the National Naval Medical Center where he

works has professional certification office where I can go and get

information on his training and background. I plan to do that. Will make me

feel more comfortable. Don't know how to find nurses who can tell me about

him, which is what was recommended in several books I read and I noticed

people here also say the talked to nurses where their doctor works. Yes, I

have MRI and sonogram.
