Do you know much about Fibroid Embolization?

Posted by: callum6 on Sat Feb 13, 2010

I have fibroids. As far as I know I have had them for about 3 years. I have been told by my doctor that they are getting larger. My doctor wants to do fibroid embolization. I don't want a hysterectomy.

These fibroids affect my life by causing me to have very heavy periods. Sometimes I can barely walk. I can't work or really do anything when I am having my period. It's awful.

If anyone has had fibroid embolization, I would really like to hear your views on it, and how your experience went. I am going to a Radiologist on Monday the 15th of Feb to discuss it. I am a bit nervous about the fact that they go through your artery. It sounds scary.

If you have had it done, you can reply to my post.

Thanks So Much!!
Terri
