How are your iron and ferritin levels after pursuing the Uterine Artery Embolization procedure?
Posted , 1 user is following.
When I was sent to the ER due to low iron, they discovered through an ultrasound reading that I had a fibroid that was causing me to menstruate heavily. After doing an MRI, they found that my 7 inch fibroid was within my uterus and was pushing against my back. Knowing that my chronic fatigue, shortness and heavy bleeding was caused by one fibroid made me relived and angry at the same time. It's relief to finally know why I had all these symptoms, but I'm mad at myself for not doing something early about these issues. During my childhood, I never vocalized my needs because my parents would get annoyed if I said I wasn't feeling well. I had to yell at my parents to drive me to the ER because I could barely lift up my head, or speak. They never apologized for not believing me.
I'll be having a video consultation in 2 weeks with someone who specializes in Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE). Here's my question: how are iron and ferritin levels after doing the UAE procedure?
