Hysterectomy side effects- what about Uterine Fibroid Embolization?

I have a bleeding over 3 weeks, my uterine is large and I have Fibroid. My OBGY wants me to have Hysterectomy, I am getting Provera 10mg since last Sunday, and I had increased the doze to 20 mg.
I am afraid of the surgery, I have heard about Uterine Fibroid Embolization which is non surgical treatment.

My OBGY does not believe in that and refused to help me. I went to my primary care and got refer to see another OBGY for a second opinion.

Ladies please tell me about your own experience which procedure did you have.
What are the side effects of Hysterectomy, mood swing gaining extra weight? How long it takes to heal and be away from work? Thanks,

A complete hyst would have more side effects than a UFE because of the fact that if they take your ovaries out, you will need to be placed on hormone replacement therapy. The moods swings, hot flashes, etc. are awful from what I've been told.

Here's a website that might shed some more light on your situation. Good luck to you!
