4 months post uae results so far

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I had my uae Sept. 27. I had it done by Dr. Deitz at the U of

M, Minneapolis. My fibroid (intramural/submucosal)measured 8x12x14

prior to the uae, I just had an MRI and it is now 8x9x10.(This is

centimeters). I have not noticed any sloughing of tissue or

discharge. My abdomen is flatter than it was, I look more normal in

clothes, but not like before,I can still feel a hard mass there when

I press on it. I couldn't tell for sure that it had shrunk, cause it

happened gradually, but now that I have the MRI results, I feel

encouraged. I hope that it keeps shrinking. My periods have been

regular and still quite heavy. I am hoping that this will improve,

too. I guess it takes a while with some people.

I spoke to the gyn. about possible myomecomy and she said that I

should wait 3 more months and see if there is improvement in the

bleeding and shrinkage. The radiologist agreed. One syptom that has

gone is the frequency of urination during the night. The gyn said

that since I have had embolization done, I would not need to go on

Lupron prior to myomectomy (if I have one done). She had previously

wanted me to go on lupron for 3 months if I had a myomectomy, but now

she said that if I have it done there will be little blood loss. As a

note of interest, for a month after uae, I did not feel uterine

contractions with orgasm, I was worried, but then the contractions

returned, so I was very relieved about that. So now my plan is to eat

better and exersize more and do what ever I can to alleiviate the

bleeding and get more shrinkage. I took a workshop in shiatsu, which

i highly recommend, you can even do it on yourself.Sorry this is so

long,

Great email. Thanks for the update. I'll give my 6 month post UAE update

next month.

I also think about getting a myomectomy because I haven't lost my tummy or

gotten enough relief from urination frequency. The longest I can sleep at

night before getting up to pee is 6 hours.
