Hi ale

I had UFE done  in January 2016. It's completely normal to have pain when you walk or stand  with me that was for a few weeks. 

The bleeding stopped after about a week.

Get plenty of rest and you will soon get better 

Hi, I am 32 years old and had my ufe on 25th July 2017. I was in severe pain after my procedure and was on morphine for one day and was discharged the next morning. I was in severe pain at home and had to go to a&e two days after my discharge as when I was urinating I was in severe pain. They gave my co-codamol the 30mg strength which helped a great deal. My fibroids were near my bladder and bowel hence the pain when urinating as the fibroids were dying. I was told by my radiographer who performed my procedure that the severity of pain varies from woman to woman and so does the recovery but it is good to have the pain as the fibroids are dying and shrinking, my vaginal discharge lasted about 2-3 weeks. My period is normal and have not missed it I just came on one day early. I was experiencing hot flushes but they seem to be subsiding. I have been off sick from work for four weeks due to the procedure and I am due to go back to work in one week. I am hopeful of my recovery and I wish you all the best in your recovery. 

Ok so everything  looks on its on its normal way to be... I HOPE IT HELPS! I don't want to have a hysterectomy.  I'll keep you posted, and please give me tips that can help. THANKS,

Hi, I had my UFE done in February of this year. I was in overnight and was off work for two weeks. I took painkillers for the first 10 days or so as the pain was pretty constant when sitting up and moving about. Incredibly painful procedure even with morphine given that first night but it means the fibroids were dying. My vaginal bleeding lasted 2 weeks and I've had really heavy periods since bar the last two which have been just as painful but shorter. So, I'm hoping this continues..

Your recovery sounds normal - I was back at work after two weeks but I think it took me another 6 weeks to feel fully recovered and not as fatigued.

Hope this helps...

Hi, 

I was in the hospital for two days too. The pain was unbearable for me. I didn't have any bleeding as mine was done through the upper inner thigh. 

I was in pain for a week and could not drive until the pain was better. Do not drive if you are still in pain or taking meds as pain can hit you at anytime. 

Two week I remember feeling so weak and tired which is normal. By third week you will be great. Those were my experiences as everyone's will vary. 

Good luck. And hang in there. Toughest week will only be your first. 

Hi, one day for a week after UFE. I'm still tired, less vaginal bleeding and less pelvic pain. I hope everyday would be better that the last one.

I'm still at home, I don't know when I will have every to start working...

has everyone felt this tiredness?

Hi All,

I had an UFE on 8/24 and spent one night at the hospital for observation. Morphine did not help with pain so I was given (not sure of spelling), Dilaludid. It's for severe pain.  I did not know that this procedure was so painful. I've had basically no bleeding, just a mucous type clear discharge. I feel better today (day 5) thank I've felt since I came home. I pray to god that this works. The amount of pain that I was in, it should. Oh yeah, I can't sit up long or my lower back starts to hurt. Right now, l have a few sharp pains in my uterus and that's it. I'm praying for a miracle as I've had three myomectomy's prior to the UFE.
