Are the other removal methods costly and are there any free treatments?
Unfortunately, there are no free treatment options. The other removal options are both surgical and non-surgical. There are some insurance companies that consider some of the options ‘experimental’ and will not cover them.
If you’re having extreme pain (at its best really bad cramps at its worst contraction type pain) is it worth taking a chance with the UFE procedure or should you consider a partial hysterectomy? I’ve already had endometrial ablation 5 years ago.
If your desire is to retain your uterus and you don’t want hysterectomy, then you might ask for consultation for the UFE. There is testing and criteria that are required before the procedure can be performed. You will need consultation with the Interventional radiologist who performs the procedure to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure and if your insurance will cover it.
I have a fibroid size 11 by 14 equal to 5 months pregnant. 1) is there a prescription for the pain during menstrual cycle? 2) I’ve gotten two opinions one says hysterectomy, the other myomectomy but he has malpractice lawsuit that he lost…any advice?
A prescription for birth control pills can possibly be used to manage the bleeding during the menstrual cycle but may or may not work. If you desire to retain your uterus and prefer the myomectomy and are uncomfortable with that doctor, then you will need to seek out another doctor.
I would suggest you speak with that doctor regarding the lawsuit, if you have concerns. Many times doctors are sued and lose, not because they did something wrong but because the insurance company wanted to settle or there was a complication, which can happen. Give him/her the opportunity to explain before you decide to switch doctors.
