I just had the UFE procedure too!
I too suffered from Uterine Fibroids. At first, they only seemed to cause bloating and frequent urination. After a while the periods became heavier and longe. The ultrasounds showed a 4 inch Fibroid and a Uterus the size of 16 week pregnancy, which had doubled in 6 months. Then the bleeding during my August menstruation was uncontrollable! The bathroom looked like a crime scene and I became very ANEMIC. I too, needed a unit of blood as my hemoglobin dropped to 6 with all the blood loss. I am very fortunate that my OB/GYN discouraged a Hysterectomy. Although I am 39 yrs old and blessed with 2 healthy children (and finished w/ child rearing), she stated that a Hysterectomy and the removal of any major organ is a huge loss to the body. She suggested trying the UFE and connected me with an Interventional Radiologist who specializes in the procedure. I was admitted right away and can say the procedure and the recovery were relatively easy. I just completed my first period since the procedure and am thrilled to report it was VERY light! The procedure was a success.
