Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I just had to share my story. I am 46 years old and had the Uterine Fibroid Embolization procedure performed three months ago at the recommendation of my gynecologist, Toni sey, MD in Pasadena, CA and my Interventional Radiologist, , MD also in Pasadena, both who I HIGHLY recommend. They are affiliated with Huntington Memorial Hospital. I had four large uterine fibroids causing severe abdominal, low back and bladder pain, frequent urination which increased at night and a constant heavy feeling in my pelvic area. I was also having quite a bit of pain over one ovary. Dr. performed the procedure as an out patient. I went home the same day. Dr. is a kind, caring and compassionate physician who put me at ease instantly. Although he told me that it takes approximately 4-6 months for the fibroids to shrink completely, I have been pain free for almost a month now. ALL of my symptoms are so much better!!!! The frequent urination has also ceased and I can now sleep through the night. I can't say enough about the care I received from Dr. and Dr. sey and how wonderful I feel today. This was certainly the way to go for me and I would recommend this procedure to everyone in need of relief from fibroids. I have dense scar tissue in my pelvic area from past surgeries and a hysterectomy was out of the question. If anyone is interested in additional information from me, please feel free to email me, otherwise please contact Dr. directly. His phone number is listed above.
