Re: 3 months post Uterine Fibroid Embolization Procedure

[Guest guest]

Hi! I also had mine done around the same time as yours! I had a 10

cm fibroid with the main problem being hemmoraging, gushing periods

and inbetween!! It was so awful! I'm doing great except I still

pee often. I'm much better than I was preUFE but at night I'm still

up like 3 times. On a good night, 2 times. I'm hoping this will

get better over time. I'm glad you got immediate results from your

peeing frequency. My IR told me at my 7 week follow up that it has

already shrunk 3 cms so hopefully it will continue.
