Six weeks after Uterine Fibroid Embolisation

Posted , 3 users are following.

I am 39. I had the ufe procedure on 8th August 2017. My largest fibroid is 11 cm x 12 cm and presses on my bladder. I am still getting a dull pain and after a lot of movement I do get sharp cramping pain.  I do feel achy at times and I get more hot flushes now.   Did anyone else experience this?

      Thanks for replying.  The hot flushes are annoying at times especially when everyone else is cold.

    It could be your fibroids slowly shrinking. As far as the sharp pain, I would let your dr know. I don't remember having any pain two weeks after my procedure. I'm 43 and  As far as hot flashes, mine increased too. My fibroids are half in size now and I haven't gotten my period in 6-7 weeks now... very unusual for me but I know I'm in perimenopause for sure because of all my symptoms. I really do think everyone experiences something a little different after UFE depending on their own body and age.

      Thanks for replying. I am thinking the same that the fibroids are probably slowly shrinking, so I am trying to go with it as it were.  I am still taking ibuprofen and buscopan as the dull pain doesn't let up.  I just feel I should be more pain free by now with only pain now and again as the fibroids shrink.
