Re: Re: Do Ablations Work?

[Guest guest]

I just don't remember fibroids ever being mentioned (doesn't mean that they

weren't mentioned). I was just wondering if I could have had fibroids back then,

since I have large ones now (10 cm + 8 cm + more). I had all the gushing of huge

clots, etc., that I've read about on the list. Hopefully, I'll be a good

candidate for the UFE.

Ablations do work very well for women that don't have fibroids!!

If a women is bleeding, I would think their gyno would check for

fibroids 1st!! Fibroids cause bleeding and would be an underlying

cause. Ablation is not a treatment for fibroids!!! It won't work!!

If your sure that you don't have a fibroid (s) then women bleed

for other reasons like polps (which they ruled out with you) or

maybe hormonal. Whatever the case, as long as you don't have

fibroids, ablation can work great.

You say you have bulk symtoms. It's possible that you do have a

fibroid now. Go get checked out and get an ultrasound. I'm on the

other board, embo group and don't know of anyone who's had an

ablation for fibroids. I would say it would be a bad gyno that

gives you an ablation before even ruling out fibroids.
