Thank you Doctor for explaining the difference of the two procedures in detail. So the (UAE) treatment will get rid of all the fibroids but will it prevent new fibroids from happening ? (once the procedure is done).

The UFE procedure should knock out all of the fibroids that are in the uterus. For women over 40, this is typically enough to hold them until menopause. Some women will grow new fibroids that can become symptomatic before menopause and if so the UFE procedure can be repeated.

Would it be an appropriate procedure for Adenomyosis?

@Atlii

Ablation is not recommended for adenomyosis. In fact, endometrial ablation will typically make the bleeding symptoms worse ! Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a very effective, nonsurgical treatment option for adenomyosis. Learn more at ATLii.com.

While i can’t say without knowing more information, ablation should be reserved for heavy bleeding not due to structural causes in the uterus (exs. Fibroids, adenomyosis). Ablation doesnt do anything to the fibroid(s) which often also causes bulk symptoms too. Learn more at ATLii.com. Good luck.

You should do a IUD, it will help a lot with your heavy periods. You shouldn’t do this surgery, not at 22 y/o because it decreases your chances of becoming pregnant.

Ok...The UFE is what I'm considering! I was told it only shrinks the fibroids 70-90% and they may come back or new ones grow! With them only shrinking them 70-90%, wouldn't they just grow back because they aren't fully gone? In this vid, he's saying it get rid of the fibroids! Which does it actually do?

@Atlii

3 жыл бұрын

The shrinking is not what is most important. What’s important is that all of the fibroids are dead. If so ( and 9 chances out of 10 that would be so) the symptoms will fade away and that’s why the procedure is done (i.e. to dramatically improve a woman’s quality of life). Now typically we get a lot of fibroid and uterine shrinkage also, but that’s really secondary. You’re rid of the symptoms and you be rid of some fibroids too. Also, those dead fibroids don’t grow back, they’re dead. If you’re over 40yrs of age, the UFE will likely be “a one and done” but even in “worst case scenario” where you need a 2nd embolization, that’s still way better than 1 surgery.

You may have adenomyosis. Ablation should not be done for structural causes of bleeding (like fibroids or adenomyosis) It often makes the bleeding worse with adenomyosis. Dont repeat ablation. Ask to get a pelvic MRI to see if you have adenomyosis. Pelvic ultrasound doesnt have good enough resolution and often misses that diagnosis.

Doesn’t the endo lining grow back after the procedure?

@jaynel5656

3 жыл бұрын

Endometrial Ablation is performed by a Gynecologist, and cannot be performed on a patient who desires fertility. Endometrial Ablation is NOT (and should not be) recommended for patients who have fibroids, because the lining will not be fully treated due to fibroids getting in the way--endometrial ablation treats the lining of the uterus, but NOT the fibroids!. Please consult a Gyn regarding your specific question about whether the lining grows back after an endometrial ablation. It is very important to note that endometrial ablation and uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) are VERY DIFFERENT procedures and are done for very different purposes. Patients with fibroids typically have great results with UFE. Patients with fibroids who have endometrial ablation typically do not have good results, and end up seeking another treatment (like UFE) which is designed to treat fibroids.

Endometrial ablation is not a good option for the treatment of fibroid-related bleeding. UFE is much better for that. If a woman has heavy bleeding unrelated to fibroids (or adenomyosis) and not interested in fertility, ablation is a good procedure. Typically ablation does not end all bleeding (it does for some), but it makes it a much lighter manageable flow.
