I underwent a Uterine Fibroid Embolization exactly a week ago today. I was wondering if anyone has had any bladder pressure after UFE. I didn't have any bladder urgencies prioe to my UFE.
Withought Ibuprophen, i constantly have the urge to go pee. I did get a UTI test yesterday, initial culture came back negative.
If this is a typical after effect of UFE, can anyone share with me how long it lasted for you?
Thank you,
Christine

The reason for both is the uterus initially swells kn response to embolisatiom, as its inflammed from having dead tissue within it. So that would push on either bladder or rectum of both.
It should ease up though, so other possibility is a UTI.

Thank you for sharing...I was tested for UTI and it came back negative, however I am feeling much better today. I am 12 days post UFE and feeling more like normal. I do get very tired by the end of the day, but that's easily resolved by hitting the sack early :-).
I am so releived to have resolved this issue. I ended up in the hospital last December and needed 4 units of blood. My fibroid situation was out of control. They gave my Lupron to stop the bleeding and shrink the fibroids. Lupron for me was heaven, with no issues. If this is what it'll be like to be in Menopause, I'll be quite happy. I chose a UFE because I'm only 46, and would like my body to determine when menopause will come forth. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity for a safe option to resolve this exceedly long going issue. :-)
