Ultrasound Report - Now Leaning to UFE - Radiation Risk with UFE ???

[Guest guest]

I am thrilled will my report as it clearly does not show a

grapefruit sized fibroid in which the doctor originally guessed via

pelvic examination.

*************************************

Two fibroids are visible. One in the posterior right uterus measures

4.8 cm in maximal dimension and the smaller anterior uterine fibroid

measures 6 mm.

The ovaries and adnexa appear unremarkable.

**************************************

My questions are: Does this report tell me what " type " of fibroids

I have? If not, do I need an MRI to find out?

I will start researching UFE's but my doctor stated that he did not

know of anyone that performs them....so I will do my research on

this as they definitely appear small enough to go this direction.

ONE QUESTION THAT I HAVE ABOUT UFE's. I have heard that this

procedure exposes your ovaries to a lot of radiation. This would be

a concern to me. They say the equivalent of two barium tests on the

colon.

Any feedback is appreciated.
