i have fybroids multiple.... that bother me, but not that im doubled over in pain or not that i hemorage every month.. one option was ebolization.
he said gina, now a days they have a big giant screen so the drs can really
see what they are doing.... they insert something into the abdomen and shoot like a dye or something to make them go away.... dont opt for surgery unless you really need it....dont let any dr . tell you different..some are just
knife happy..... for now he just gave me a prescription to a muscle relaxer to
take when i have pain and i that doesnt help, i will opt for something else..
i did have 3 other surgerys. 2 laporoscopys and 1 myomectomy and they
grew back.... .. their are other options... pm me if you would like to talk..
i know all about this stuff,, been through hell and back with pain...
good luck
That was an option for me too. Do your research. It may be the best thing for you. Bear with me, it's been a few years so I probably don't have this exactly right. I opted out of this because they are actually injecting something into the blood vessels that feed the fybroids to "clog" them up. The procedures only been around for a short time, so there are no long term studies explaining what happens to this stuff years down the road. Anyway, this made me uncomfortable, so I opted for surgery.
