Transformative Stories of Recovery

Maria L., UFE patient
Heavy Bleeding

Maria L., 44 — "I Got My Life Back"

School teacher, mother of two | Diagnosed with multiple intramural fibroids

Before UFE
  • Changing pads every 45 minutes at peak flow
  • Missing 2–3 days of work per month
  • Hemoglobin 7.8 (severely anemic)
  • Wore dark clothing every day "just in case"
  • Carrying 3 extra changes of clothes everywhere
  • Told she needed a hysterectomy
After UFE (3 months)
  • Normal period flow — 1 pad per day
  • No missed work days
  • Hemoglobin normalized to 12.4
  • Wears whatever she wants
  • No longer plans her life around her period
  • Still has her uterus
"I was wearing adult diapers to school because my bleeding was so catastrophic. My gynecologist said I needed a hysterectomy. When I found out about UFE, I was skeptical — it sounded too good to be true. But three months later, I have my life back. I cry thinking about how much time I lost suffering unnecessarily. Do not wait as long as I did."
Return to work: Day 8  |  Fibroid shrinkage: 65% at 6 months
Tamara K., UFE patient
Large Fibroid

Tamara K., 38 — "My Ob-gyn Said Surgery. UFE Said No."

Attorney, unmarried, not yet ready to close the door on children | 11cm subserosal fibroid

Before UFE
  • Fibroid the size of a grapefruit
  • Visible swollen belly — looked 4–5 months pregnant
  • Waking 4–5 times per night to urinate
  • Chronic lower back pain rated 7/10
  • Recommended for open myomectomy
  • Afraid of surgery and long recovery
After UFE (6 months)
  • Fibroid shrunk 68% — 3.5cm
  • Flat abdomen — fits pre-fibroid clothes
  • Sleeping through the night again
  • Back pain gone completely
  • Back at work in 10 days
  • Fertility options preserved
"I was devastated when my ob-gyn said surgery. I'm a single woman in my late 30s who still wants children someday — a hysterectomy wasn't an option for me emotionally or physically. After getting a second opinion here, I had UFE done in 90 minutes and was home the next morning. Six months later, the fibroid is almost gone. I can't believe I almost had major surgery."
Return to work: Day 10  |  Fibroid shrinkage: 68% at 6 months
Denise R., UFE patient
Pelvic Pain

Denise R., 50 — "I Was Afraid. But I Did It Anyway."

Nurse, grandmother | Multiple fibroids, pelvic pressure, bloating

Before UFE
  • Constant pelvic pressure — rated it 8/10
  • Bloated belly for 3 years
  • Heavy periods soaking through clothes
  • On iron infusions for anemia
  • Couldn't stand on feet all day at work
  • Terrified of any procedure
After UFE (4 months)
  • Pelvic pressure 95% improved
  • Flat belly — stopped iron infusions
  • Periods nearly gone (approaching menopause)
  • Hemoglobin stabilized naturally
  • Working 12-hour nursing shifts again
  • Wishes she had done it sooner
"As a nurse, I thought I knew what I was in for. I was still terrified. But the team made me feel completely safe and truly cared for. The first two days were hard — lots of cramping. But by day five I was walking around the house. By day twelve I was back in my scrubs. My symptoms are 95% gone. I tell every female patient I see about UFE."
Return to work: Day 12  |  Symptom improvement: 95%

Fertility Concern

Aisha J., 34 — "Fibroids Were Stealing My Dream of Motherhood"

Accountant, married 3 years | Submucosal fibroids, 2 miscarriages

Before UFE
  • 2 miscarriages in 18 months
  • Fibroids distorting uterine cavity
  • Extremely heavy, painful periods
  • Significant emotional distress
  • Evaluated for myomectomy
  • Searched for alternatives
After UFE (12 months)
  • Fibroids significantly reduced
  • Uterine cavity normalized
  • Periods dramatically lighter
  • Emotionally at peace with decision
  • Currently working with fertility specialist
  • Note: Individual fertility results vary — discuss your situation with our specialist
"We had two devastating miscarriages and found out fibroids were affecting my uterus. The doctor here took so much time to explain my options and what UFE meant for my fertility goals. The honest conversation — including the uncertainty — was what I needed. We made the best decision we could with the information we had. The symptoms are gone. I feel hope again."
Important note: UFE and fertility is complex and individual. Aisha's case was discussed thoroughly with both our specialist and her fertility team before proceeding. Fertility outcomes after UFE vary by individual. Please discuss your specific situation with our doctor.

"I was 56 and my doctor said I was 'almost in menopause, just wait it out.' Another 2–3 years of this flooding? No. UFE stopped my heavy bleeding within 6 weeks. My only regret is not finding this practice sooner."

Rosa V., 56
Perimenopause / Heavy Bleeding | UFE Patient

"I'm a runner. Fibroids had me sidelined for over a year — anemia, pain, exhaustion. After UFE, I ran my first 5K four months later. I still can't believe it. This procedure gave me my athletic identity back."
