    Hello,

    Everyone has different experiences but it worked well for me. I lost ten pounds, I don't get up in the night to urinate anymore,pressure symptoms gone and I have gone from 4 pads every 1-2 hours to wearing 1 pad.

    So I highly recommend it as it gave me back my energy and my life.

      Hi,

      My anemia got better but it took quite a long time before I got all my energy, 3 months.

    Hi Torlina

    I had a Uterine Fibroid Embolisation in April 2016. My stomach went

    down and my frequent urination stopped. However, my period

    Remained heavy and I started to get rectalmand bowel pain. I have

    been in and out of hospital, back and forth to GP so many times

    over the past few months. I have been scanned, xrayed, prodded

    and poked. The only thing the could find was my large fibroid,

    which had only shrunk 1cm and was classed as a failure. The

    Doctors believe it is pressing against my rectum and back. I am

    worse now then before the Embolisation. I am in constant pain,

    can't work and spend my day in tears.

    I now am looking at a hysterectomy. Thats is not to say that it dosnt

    work. I have read a lot of women who have had success with it.

    I just advise you to do your homework. It works less on large fibroids

    and the younger you are as it is better closer to menopause.

    I am having a hysterectomy because my family is finished although

    They are reluctant as I am 37, I believe it can give me my life back.

    I hope you find the right way for you.xxx
