Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 , Have you heard of Uterine artery embolization? I was having much the same symptoms as you have. The long periods, with lots of bleeding, flooding, big clots, pains, cramps. I was 43 at that time so I was finished having children. But the UAE was a great success for me. They put a tiny catheter into your groin and essentially insert particles to block the blood flow to the fibroids. There is no cutting and you are only in the hospital one night. The recovery is not bad. I am sorry you are having all these problems and hopefully you can decide what to do. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 , It sounds possible that your doctor removed just one fibroid and perhaps didn't look around for others...although it is possible that you are just one of those women who grow lots of fibroids. Not comforting, I know. One suggestion would be to see another gynecologist or reporductive endocrinologist and ask for an MRI which gives a sharper, clearer picture of just how many fibroids you have. Another suggestion would be to consider a UAE. UAE will kill all fibroids, however small, that exist at the time of the procedure. While some women regrown fibroids following a UAE, it's my impression that there's a longer time between procedure and new fibroid growth than is true for myomectomy. Either way, I personally would get another opinion, from a doctor not associated with your current GYN. Leonie > > okay this is just nuts. I had my frist fribord removed last Feb 03.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Okay this hmo thing continuse. They only appoved me for two vist. And they faxed over a not saying no matter what they would not appove a Mayo. So why even bother. There fourseing me again into there 3 distions. Depo I will not do. Bleed out since i already had a blood transfutions, or a hystercetym. Thank you i 29 year old not had any childern and would like to keep my orograns. So i thinking since this is how they want to handle it i guess it looks like were in option 2. I am hopping that dr Stward is able to convince them to have my mayo is the way to go.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hi, First let your doc try to fight the HMO for you. Docs have connections. Sometimes if you fight the HMO for a treatment, they'll do it. A myo is hardly experimental. Why don't they cover it? Tell them they'll be talking to your attorney. Call their HR department. It's your body, you deserve real choices. Fight them. My friend worked for them and she told me to fight. They hope you won't but you stand to win if you do. It sounds like you want the option to have a child, I fully understand this, let your doc try and then fight if you have too. Ku queenlillycat@... wrote: Okay this hmo thing continuse.
