'Uterine Fibroid Embolization' (UFE) - Please let me know your experience if you've had this procedure

I used to work for a company that made the embolization products. What are your concerns?

My daughter in law almost had this procedure done but decided against it because she still wants children. If you don't want children, I understand it works. However, the medical world is still really not sure of the long term effects of the material they put into your uterus. I guess it depends on how bad your symptoms are now and how much pain you are in.
