Around 70% of women will have at least one fibroid in their lifetimes, according to health experts.

I had a hysterectomy after 4 years of non stop bleeding and pain. Nothing worked; tried the pill, Depo shot, IUD. All this due to fibroids. I do not regret my hysterectomy at all. No more bleeding and so so happy 🙌

Uterine Fibroid Embolization - Fibroid embolization, also called uterine artery embolization, is done without surgery. It requires only a tiny nick in the skin about the size of a pencil tip. It is performed while the patient is conscious but sedated — drowsy and feeling no pain. Fibroid embolization is performed by an interventional radiologist, a physician who is specially trained to perform this and other minimally invasive procedures.

The interventional radiologist makes a small nick in the skin in the groin, through which a tiny tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery. The catheter is guided through the artery to the uterus while the interventional radiologist watches the progress of the procedure using a moving X-ray (fluoroscopy). When the catheter is in place, the interventional radiologist injects tiny plastic or gelatin sponge particles the size of grains of sand into the artery that supplies blood to the fibroid tumor. The particles cut off the blood flow to the fibroid and cause it to shrink.

I HAD a 11cm benign fibroid in my uterus, cancelled my full hysterectomy and used natural means to shrink that fibroid. I’m soo happy and no surgery or side effects.

So sad; this condition is preventable and reversible without surgery with diet and iodine supplementation.
