Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Hi, I am new to this group. I wonder if anyone could give me their insight. I am considering UFE for multiple, symptomatic fibroids (back pain, clots, cramps) . Two gynecologists and two radiologists have told me that they consider me a reasonable candidate for this procedure. I am 50 and had a myomectomy for a pedunculated fibroid without complications 8 years ago. I am currently on daily Ayestin in an attempt to control the bleeding. I was wondering if anybody in this group who had UFE 1-2 years ago might not mind sharing their experience? The reason I mention this time frame is because I have read that takes time for the fibroids to shrink and for the symptoms to disappear completely. I know that the immediate post-op period may be painful and anti-inflammatories are required to control the pain. How long did you have to take anti-inflammatories until you were pain free? How long before the material of the dying fibroids stopped being expelled? How long until you got your period back? Did the procedure affect intimate relationships due to pain or discomfort that was different to what you had experienced with the fibroids? Did you have complications that you would like to warn me about? I hope this note is not too long. I appreciate and thank you in advance for your feedback.
