changing subj to UAE and new growth (Re: Re: question on how to prevent fibroids)

[Guest guest]

My first fibroids were not submucosal. They were not palpable or

visible on transvaginal ultrasound 18 months after the UFE. My

current fibroids are numerous submucosal, one is right in the

endocervical canal, preventing the doc from even getting an endo

biopsy. These are definitely new.

I had a very mild skin reaction to the angio dye. I would not

consider another UFE, because I'd like to save further angio dye

exposure in case I need it for cardiovascular interventions as I

age. Big family disposition toward that, my dad has had five

angiographies in the last five years.

I don't know if the new fibroids grew in retaliation to the assault

of the thermal ablation I had a few years back, who knows if that

was a trigger that set them off? That's such an obscure question

that I don't think ANYONE will ever fund research on it!

> Hi - You said you had UAE 4 years ago and have new fibroids. Do

you know if these are the ones that were there when you went in for

UAE and they found a new blood supply, or are these truly new? I

would like to rid myself of mine forever. I know that hysto. will

do the trick, but I wonder if UAE would, too?
