I had the uterine arterial embolization. It hurt like a mofo, but it was worth it. If you go with this option, you can email me at zyada_tx @ yahoo.com for more information.

Do NOT let a doctor convince you that you must get a hysterectomy! Some doctors are convinced that hystorectomy is the only way to treat this (or perhaps they prefer the profit margin).

Also, I heard very, very bad things about the medicine listed in that article. It's basically an artificial menopause with all the grief that entails.
