Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I know this topic has been discussed. But I'm noticing lots of people who are either just recovering from myos or are just about to go in for one. I was wondering how many of you who have made this decision looked into having a UAE. If not, was it because there was no one available in your area to do one? Or was it an insurance issue? Or just unsure about the procedure? I'm thinking of doing a myo in about 2 months. My doctor seemed to think it a good idea. We talked about UAE, but it was his opinion that it is still a relatively new procedure and they are still working on getting it more accurate. That is, how much to occlude the artery. He said right now they block it 100%, but sometimes that can cut off the blood supply to the ovaries and cause menopause earlier. Being 46, I'm not sure that's that big a deal for me. I'm afraid that I'm leaning towards a myo because I have the doc, I have the time frame and I kind of don't want to look any further. Part of me feels very comfortable with the idea of the myo, but part of me feels that I should investigate further. I think someone put down a link to a UAE chat group a while ago. I would appreciate getting that link again. I'd appreciate any input. gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
