Shelley's Story

Uterine fibroids is a condition that affects over 70% of women in the U.S. by age 50. Excessive menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain are common symptoms of uterine fibroids, and often disturbs one's day-to-day lifestyle. Shelley, a patient at Houston Fibroids, suffered from uterine fibroids and described her periods and cramps before fibroid treatment as "excruciatingly painful" with excessive bleeding. Additionally, she found sexual intercourse to be quite painful.

Shelley didn't want to resort to getting a hysterectomy to treat her conditions, and went through an informative consultation process with Houston Fibroids to explore less invasive treatment options. Shelley had minimal pain and downtime after the Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) procedure, and after a year, has no symptoms of uterine fibroids. "It's been a little over a year and I've had no pain during sex anymore, no bleeding during sex anymore, my cramping is very light, it's normal now, and my periods are not heavy whatsoever."

When asked if she had advice for anyone suffering from uterine fibroids, Shelley recommended the UFE procedure. "I've always recommended this. It was recommended to me from another patient, and I truly feel it changed my life."
