Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Dear friends, I visited my gyne today and she's all negative about UFE. Told me about the assoicated risks of having UFE and not to blame all my symptoms on fibroids (i.e. pressure could be from xxx, frequent urination could be due to urinary infection...). So she's asked me to go for urodynamics (pelvic tests) and urine tests. I came back home feeling disappointed and confused. I found an informative pack in my letter box from The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (surprisingly pleasant after my gyne visit). You can email resources@... for a free copy of experts finding on UFE followup on 4000 women. I'm 36 and I have a 5cm intramural fibroid and a 1.3 cm fibroid (also intramural) found today during ultrasound. I don't want a hyst / myo 'cause I want to leave my uterus intact (I might have a boyfriend in the future and he might want a child). I'm wearing a mirena now. I thought UFE is the next sensible and least invasive thing to do. If I can't have babies after UFE, then it'd still be better than living with the beast for the rest of my life.
