OMG. So true. I literally had a blood count under 4 when into hypotension and needed several bags of blood and iron transfusions. Tbat was Thanksgiving 2020.

I am 50 with fibroids and adenomyosis heavy bleeding 2 days of my cycle. , my uterine cavity is 11cm too large for iud. Largest right fibroid 7.5x5.6x7.6 cm, a fundal 4.6x3.9x3.8 cm, and anterior 4.6 x2.5 x 3.6 cm with several smaller ones. I don't want a hysterectomy, had myomectomy 2007, c-section 2012. Am I too old for embolization due to perimenopause? My mom stopped at 58? I don't want to go through the same torture.
About 4 yrs ago, during my annual physical my Primary Care Physician alerted me to go to the ER immediately because of dangerously low iron (blood hemoglobin at 4)! I thought she was overreacting because I felt fine. But, the alarm in her voice really scared so I went to the ER. They admitted me and I got a blood transfusion. Afterwards, I felt sooooo much better, more energy. It seems Drs. downplay the effects of constant low iron due to fibroids. Fibroids induced anemia can cause strokes and heart issues if not checked and treated...no joke!!! Drs, please stop tip-toeing around the long term and more severe effects of fibroids...people’s lives are at stake!!!
Fibroids are the # 1 reason for abnormally heavy periods which will often cause anemia. Every woman going through this needs to know about UFE. For more info on fibroids, UFE, and anemia, please visit ATLii.com
My periods have been way too frequent with significantly heavy bleeding, and I'm extremely fatigued. I've also been gaining weight. I was wondering why I'm always so tired and lack energy. I thought it was due to getting older and life style changes resulting from the pandemic, but now I'm even more concerned. My gynecologist told me that I probably have fibroids a few years ago due to my complaining symptoms at the time, but she didn't make a big deal about it. So I've been carrying on thinking that I'm suffering from something many women deal with everyday. Honestly, I've been internalizing my worsening symptoms, and thinking something is wrong with me. I've been thinking that I'm just becoming lazy and unmotivated, and I beat myself up daily, because my work performance in plummeting along with these symptoms. I'm constantly playing catch up on my job, spending my nights and weekends working to keep up so I don't feel as incompetent. I have so much anxiety and stress from work that I can't spare a moment or have enough energy to go to a doctor. When I'm not working all I want to do is stay in the bed all day if possible. Now I definitely think something more serious is going on with me. Sorry for pouring my heart out like that! I really couldn't help myself.
Kimberly thank you so much for sharing this. My situation almost exactly mirrors yours. I am furious and in tears because although my blood haemoglobin was 4, possibly still is, I was not sent to the ER. Instead, I was sent to the health shop to buy iron supplements. This by voicemail too. When I asked for a prescription I was told I didn't need one. This has affected every aspect of my life. Over the past 2 to 3 years I have suffered from extreme fatigue, gained weight, become lethargic and mentally slow, as well as irascible and depressed. I have felt old and slow at the relatively young age of 45. It has affected my professional performance and my personal relationships. My quality of life has plummetted and this has all been preventable. I am furious! I live in the UK and we have a National Health Service that I and millions of other women have paid into for years. I feel cheated and let down. What can we do about this ladies? Shall we get together and form a global fibroid association/charity to educate and advocate for ourselves.

Hi doc, I am 32, have 4 fibroids, 7.6 cm partially exophytic left fundal with possible degeneration, 3.2cm in right fundal myometrial wall 0.9 in anterior myometrial wall and 1.8 cm in posterior lower uterine segment. They cause me lots of abdominal discomfort and I want to get pregnant as well. What treatment should I go for? Or is it safe if I get pregnant? Thanks in advance.
I started bleeding on July 30th and stopped on August 22 then started again on August 28th and stopped on sep 4th. I have heavy bleeding and severe pain and can hardly lift my head up. My doctor won't call me back because he's on vacation. Hospitals are too full with (Covid) patients can't even get blood test. I have been diagnosed with fi fibroids and endometriosis. Wish I had a doctor like you close to me.
Hi since your unable to see the doctor you should look into floradix liquid iron supplement to bring your iron levels up. I also have fibroids and I’ve been taking liquid iron supplement and my levels are fine and I have energy
@@uptownphilly8341 Thank you I will look into that one. I already take a iron supplement but it doesn't help. I have to go in for a D&C and Ablation in 2 weeks they said if that doesn't work then do a hysterectomy. Idk, I'm kinda at the mercy of the doctor
Had my first myomectomy in 2017... doc counting at stopped at 13 .... fast forward to 2020 I just found out I am suffering again ( i knew it was happening)...sonogram shows 6 fibroids in my cavity and cyst on my ovary... in pain all the time... weight gain... extreme fatigue etc... I have no kids but desperately want one........ so afraid to get the surgery again. Although my doctor was a blessing... the recovery period was so painful.... is it even possible to get better?
While I see this all too often, I don't believe there is ever a reason to do a 2nd myomectomy. It just sets you up for a 3rd procedure. I would consider getting an opinion from an experienced Interventional Radiologist on UFE. If you would like to make an appointment, please call 770-953-2600 or go to ATLii.com.
@@Atlii I love that you respond to questions and concerns in the comment section. It really makes women feel hopeful and cared for. Thank you for being you!
I don’t treat mine cause the treatment options are terrible, including myomectomy … I know they grow back and im afraid that the ones growing back after surgery cause me worse symptoms…. Im not convinced of doing an ufe and hysterectomies have too many side effects
Myomectomy fails women commonly due to the inability of the surgeon to remove all of the tumors. The fibroids don't "grow back", they never left ! The fibroids that remain after the myomectomy immediately start to grow and symptoms return and a second procedure is often needed within 3-5 years. Hysterectomy is way too extreme and often has significant negative consequences for women. UFE is an outstanding option and should be done first. It is safer than surgery, less expensive, much shorter recovery, treats ALL of the fibroids with a low recurrence rate, and allows women to keep their uterus ! Learn more at ATLii.com
Doctor please I'll like to know if the vision loss I am experiencing is as a result of fibriod , my symptoms got worse with heavy bleeding and lengthy flow from 6 days to 8 days and then I noticed my vision is poor...I visited my optician and she's saying it's Glacoma...I don't believe her, I think my hormones and fibroid is responsible for this.
Despite increased awareness about UFE and this doctor along with other doctors providing education through demonstrations, it remains disheartening to find women in fibroid forums on Reddit still reporting hysterectomies and multiple myomectomies. This situation is frustrating and should be criminal.
Agreed. Women are entitled to know all of their options (not just the surgical ones) and that’s just not happening. Hysterectomy is the 2nd most common surgery performed in US and average age 39 yrs. Why are young, primarily women of color being amputated for benign disease? Learn more about fibroids and UFE at ATLii.com
My question is how big do fibroids have to be to be seen on a ct scan? I ask because I had to go to the ER about a week ago because I was hurting so bad and both myself and the ER doctor thought it was my appendix. They did a ct scan and found fibroids but didn't tell me how big they were.
Hi Dr, I have a doubt in my medical report shown a fibroid measure 5.1cm×4.5cm×0.7cm in anterior wall of uterus I don't understood which type of fibroid and what is the exact location plz clarify me sir.
I’m 39 and 21 weeks pregnant. I’m in a lot of pain and worried I could miscarry. I have 8 fibroids and the big one is about 6.5 cm. Can I get a UFE while pregnant? Do you know of any good doctors specialized in fibroids in the Tampa area?
No. You cannot undergo a UFE while pregnant. While fibroids can interfere with your pregnancy, most women who have fibroids while pregnant will have uncomplicated pregnancies. Good luck to you.
Depending on the number and location of the fibroids, fertility after UFE is just as high as with myomectomy. UFE also is much safer (with myomectomy you can wake up without your uterus; also much lower complication rate and severity of complications for UFE), and treats ALL of the fibroids (myomectomy does not).
They won’t even treat me at the doctors. They diagnose me and leave me in the corner to basically die . They gave me a neurological injury back in 2017 with benzodiazepines by ripping me off my meds all of a sudden. I have several herniated discs in my spine and a Tumor on my spinal cord . My life’s pretty miserable . I have no quality of life . They denied me back surgery when I just got on social security for my back . This was all in 2017 . They have not done a single thing for me . If the research checks out do what’s best for you . If you have a physician willing to treat you, you are blessed. For me I was tortured for years and years due to the benzo injury. It is still torturing me and now I have these stupid fibroids and perimenopause. They still do not help me . I’m done with doctors
I hope you contacted Dr. Libman for consultation. No woman should have to suffer with period for 24 days! It’s not usual! Not to mention we women, most of us have other life obligations besides nursing and fretting over extended periods! Fight back against fibroids and take your life back! God bless!

Are the embolization material biodegradable (can they diffuse after the problem is gone?) am concerned coz the uterus will still need enough oxygen through the blocked artery during pregnancy when tumor is gone
I have had numerous pregnancies even multiple sets of twins after UFE. There is a biodegradable embolic, but it has not been proven to be any better in knocking out the fibroids and I'm not aware of any published study to look at fertility outcomes after using this embolic either.
What if your 45 with heavy bleeding and have had iron deficiency anemia for years and didn’t know why? They said mine was degenerative or “not a new one” would you recommend a hysterectomy or something else? I’ve had cysts on my ovaries as well, would it be good to have it all removed?
Chronic iron deficiency in women is often due to fibroids. Degenerating fibroids can still be partially alive and cause heavy periods. If there are fibroids that are near central cavity of the uterus (i.e submucosal or large intramural fibroids), they are the ones that lead to heavy bleeding. If this is the problem Uterine Fibroid Embolization should always be considered before hysterectomy. UFE is a nonsurgical, outpatient where patients get the relief of symptoms, avoid the risks/long recovery of surgery, and get to keep their uterus ! To read more about UFE, please go to ATLii.com. Good luck.
Atlanta Fibroid Center I’m older and they say the cysts that we’re caused by an IUD that was taken out ten years ago caused cysts on my ovaries, they are now 2cm-4cm long, they call ovarian CA the silent killer right? Should I just get it all taken out?
After myomectomy surgery, yes, that is very common and one of the drawbacks to myomectomy. With the UFE procedure, it treats all of the fibroids which makes it much less likely that you need another procedure or surgery after UFE; particularly if you're in your 40's (or 50's) when you have UFE.
My name is margaret williams and i suffer from uterine fibroids and get heavy bleedind with blood cloth when my periods come i am 44 going in to 45 no treatment has been given tio me as yet as i am still to get an ultrasound again to see how big it has grown
It really doesn't matter if the fibroids have grown or how much. You are clearly suffering and treatment is definitely warranted. One option to consider is Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). Learn more at ATLii.com. Good luck !
I live in the UK the gynecologysts just decided to leave my 10cm submucosal fibriod as I was put on tablets to stop heavy periods. I'm sure it's grown bigger I lie on my back and see a big bump.
Hi Kirsty - I also live in the UK and had my fibroids treated by UAE a couple of weeks ago on the NHS and I'm recovering. I would maybe do some research on this as this is the most non invasive procedure to treat fibroids. If your fibroids are affecting your standard of life i.e. heavy painful periods, bladder/bowel pressure etc then the NHS shouldn't have any reason not to treat them with UAE. Did your gynaecologist say why they couldn't be treated by UAE?
Yes. Fibroids grow with estrogen, so an anti-estrogen approach can help. Avoiding hormone-rich foods (exs. red meat, non-organic chicken, dairy). Increase colored fruits/veggies (contain flavonoids that block estrogen), exercise to lose excess body fat (estrogen stored in fat), and check to make sure vitamin D level good. There's a lot more on this on our website at ATLii.com. Good luck.

I live in the UK the gynecologysts just decided to leave my 10cm submucosal fibriod as I was put on tablets to stop heavy periods.
I'm sure it's grown bigger I lie on my back and see a big bump.
Hi Kirsty - I also live in the UK and had my fibroids treated by UAE a couple of weeks ago on the NHS and I'm recovering. I would maybe do some research on this as this is the most non invasive procedure to treat fibroids. If your fibroids are affecting your standard of life i.e. heavy painful periods, bladder/bowel pressure etc then the NHS shouldn't have any reason not to treat them with UAE. Did your gynaecologist say why they couldn't be treated by UAE?
You really need to keep on at the and get them removed. Larger ones cause severe symptoms and complications.
Can Fibroid come out it self
Yes, it can.
@@Atlii than what happens when it comes out how look like
Can you treat them the holistic way?
Yes. Fibroids grow with estrogen, so an anti-estrogen approach can help. Avoiding hormone-rich foods (exs. red meat, non-organic chicken, dairy). Increase colored fruits/veggies (contain flavonoids that block estrogen), exercise to lose excess body fat (estrogen stored in fat), and check to make sure vitamin D level good. There's a lot more on this on our website at ATLii.com. Good luck.
