What Every Woman Should Know About Fibroids

Dr. John Lipman discusses what he believes every woman should know about #fibroids . He explains that at no point should a woman ever have to get a #hysterectomy because of fibroids. He goes into detail about the non-surgical procedure he performs for fibroids called #UFE (Uterine Fibroid Embolization), and how it is the safest and a very effective option compared to a #myomectomy and #hysterectomy (losing your uterus).

I'm very happy that you said there is no reason to have a hysterectomy for fibroid God bless you as its given me confidence that I did the right thing not going ahead with an operation.

After a scary cycle in January I made a drastic lifestyle change, and I am down 40lbs now, I went Vegan and I’m on plant based iron with vitamin c, D3, lady’s mantle, wild yam, turmeric, dandelion root and essiac tea.

[@jalishawoods659]

I drove all the way to ATL to this doctor and got the UFE procedure done I was so excited just hoping everything was going to be better. It’s coming up on a year Dec 31 and my fibroid has gotten bigger also now I have to get a hysterectomy😢 my story is sad I tried everything not only that I end up having to come out of pocket to pay for this procedure and it did nothing for me. And y’all the pain after is unbearable the worst pain I ever felt. Not talking bad about the doctor at all my experience with this doctor was not good at all😩 I’m so tired of going through this but who ever it work for that is wonderful

[@Blacksongbird337]

Their are doctors who care after all!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Luuvlyscorp54]

This is awesome news!! I’ve had 2 endometrial ablations 1 at 40 and another at 50 due to heavy menses that gushed and lasted for 10days which caused me to become anemic, the 1st one didn’t work and the only thing the last procedure did was delayed my heavy menses to every 6 months of heavy bleeding instead of every month, for the past 2 years I’ve switched to a more plant based diet and cut dairy out as well but I’m still have this issue with My fibroids every 6 months. I have debilitating pelvic pain, sore breast and frequent urination and 10 days of bleeding. I’m so frustrated with this, I want this to be over, I feel having a UFE is right for me..

[@ms.understood007]

I’m 53, had small scaring or endometriosis removed at 28. Now, at 53, and post menopausal for 14 years, had hemorrhaging and fibroid found. Painful, heavy periods since teens. Suspected adenomyosis? Trying to avoid hysterectomy surgery my GYN is suggesting. I’m ever so grateful for this post. Perhaps, I will travel to Atlanta and you to have procedure. Grateful for this post and to see there’s a doctor who cares. Thanks

[@Shells84]

Finally. So tired of these old school OBGYNs telling me I need to remove my big bad uterus. I did an iron infusion recently to combat the anemia but the bleeding I’m trying to manage with pills. Not so successfully 😢 was told after 2 myomectomys which sucked btw and caused issues

[@meseretkefyalew2888]

[@CrYstaL43879]

I’m tired of my heavy periods and bad cramping! And I don’t want surgery! 😔

[@alexbogo7314]

My fibroid grew from uterus all the way up to my heart, I don't think what what this man is talking about would help me. There is a risk to do nothing about it!

[@judyb278]

My ufe I had last November 2020 and it failed. There is no vascular activity going to my big fibroid. My 7.2 cm submucosal fibroid has only shrunk to 5.5 cm as shown on my last mri I had in September 2021. My radiologist asked me if I have considered surgery. Since my ufe I still have heavy periods, pain and clots. The radiologist stated it's my multiple smaller ones causing me the issues I'm experiencing. I thought that ufe was effective for big fibroids as well as the smaller ones? All of my fibroids are in the endomentrial lining of the uterus. I am seriously now considering a hysterectomy as I am tired of dealing with fibroids.

[@jalishawoods659]

Omggg where going through the same thing I’m considering a hysterectomy also

[@quitafreeman824]

Same here I had a myomectomy in 2017 didn't work and had the UFE procedure done June 2022 and I am still bleeding heavy no relief. I have to schedule another MRI so the fibroids could be measured hopefully they are getting smaller but I doubt it. The bleeding is crazy heavy. I teach and can not go in the bathroom every hour but it's go every hour or have blood on my clothes 😔

[@shiastarr1102]

I had to miscarriages in the last two years and I have three fibroids I don't know if they had anything to do with my miscarriage but I definitely need help getting rid of them so I can try to have another baby

[@ddl4374]

Do the dead fibroids ALWAYS 'soften'? Ot do they sometimes calcify? And if they harden up, then what?

[@monicaedwin6164]

I have a 4 cm fibroid and a small one in my uterus wall , am 43 and would love to have another child . What can I do please help ?

[@sashavovk2868]

How can vitamin D3 be too much? I’m yet to find a proof

[@mgarde7748]

My doctor is concerned about rapid growth and cancer . One of my fibroids went from 1.5cm to 8.5cm in 18 months. Because of the size I am feeling the UFE won't do enough and due to the risk of it being malignant worried UFE could be dangerous?

[@sweetboxerbabies]

Thank you for this

I’m 4 weeks post op. My surgeon said a normal uterus is 75 grams, he said mines was 720 grams, did I need a hysterectomy

[@likonelokalaka3701]

Is UFE suitable for someone who still want to have kids?

[@ddl4374]

This smile reminds me of Phoebe fr8m fiends ! ~ SUCH good vibes!

[@TIGRESSA73]

I'm 47 and have 4 large fibroids. I'm so afraid of getting surgery. UFE is not available everywhere. Can diet, exercise and supplements help? I'm pre menopausal also. I was told my uterus is like having a 4 month pregnancy. How much do fibroids shrink after or during menopause?? One of my fibroids is 10cm.

[@nnoffs6259]

Thank you.very helpful

[@dianamoldovanu1141]

I had a histerectomy due to one fibroid. I regret IT.

[@araceliserrato1189]

Same with me ☹️

[@LedePat]

What do you all regret about the procedure?

[@jenniferperry6914]

I just found out I had endometrial the docter said I got to have a hysterectomy I like I won't my uterus

[@twinklestar1367]

I was told that anyone with pedunculated type 0 sub mucous fibroids should not have UFE. Is this true?

[@TIGRESSA73]

When the fibroids shrink, does it cause heaviness inside the uterus??? Can your uterus prolapse?

[@mscurious7173]

Is it necessary to had surgery if someone have polyp on the uterus?

[@kimberlyarnold9799]

How it cast for all this

I really want to come over, I'm a New Zealand citizen what the process?

[@TIGRESSA73]

What can happen if you don't do anything about the fibroids?

[@AnekoFoxx]

The fibroids may continue to grow, which could cause painful periods, heavy bleeding, constipation, incontinence, or fertility issues.

[@modesty6919]

10 yrs ago mines were 2 cm now I have more and they grow. My bigger one is 7 cm. I suffer from heavy bleeding, low hemoglobin, bloating and always tire. I was at the emergency room last night with back pain and pain in my pelvis. I need to see a gynecologist and I cant wait to have them remove. Is causing me too much health problems already.

[@mgarde7748]

I would treat it early before it is a problem. Mine was 1.5cm 18 mo ago. Now it is 8.5cm and causing bladder issues

[@Shells84]

I want to fly to ATl to see him. No one seems to know WTH they are doing here in FL. If we had the anemia had the myomectomys. We know we have fibroids. Can we just call there or do I need to be referred

[@idoggonecute]

Is there a centre like yours in Canada (ontario)?

[@jonu3701]

Yup I have fibroids. Horrible. What can ppl do to have these removed?

[@msfergie5851]

I read that refined sugar feeds the tumors. Is that true?

Sodas is nothing but sugar in a can

@@jalishawoods659 this doctor? Wow then we need to go natural and life changes diet and exercise... teas like tumeric, ginger, oregano and black paper mixed daily for a month does a good job...also use castor oil to apply on a cotton cloth and rap on top of the fibroids...it will die and shrink away...also drink apple cider vinegar, take organic garlic with natural yoghurt to replace the good bacteria killed by the garlic, and drink beetroots juice..aloe Vera...I mean...just google anything for fibroids and use all because they are beneficial to our body...

does UFE Cause pre mature menopause

No, I had a UFE 7 years ago that failed, endometrial ablation 4 years ago that failed and just started pre- menopause 2 years ago. Last period was a week ago & I'll be 57 next month. 🤦🏾‍♀️
