"My fibroid according to the doctor was a size of a orange, it was quite big. My stomach was, I'm a skinny person you know, but my stomach swells out like a balloon.
The fibroid was really impacting my life. Considering 45 days of heavy bleeding. I mean, it was heavy, heavy bleeding. You can't really go anywhere, you can't really travel much.
After a lot of thought and I'm saying, you know, I don't want to try the big surgery. Because the embolization really, I read a lot more about it actually, showing that there is no surgery involved. It's a pretty simple procedure and probably recovery time is like 2 days to 5 days versus a hysterectomy it would probably take about 6 weeks.
I postpone the other surgery. I just told the doctor that I don't want to go through it yet, you know. I said let me try this alternative treatment and see whether, you know, I get better. And ummm, yeah, I was like, in heaven after that. The bleeding stopped, completely. I mean, it was like I gone through a normal period that I haven't had for about 10 years.
I really want to get this word out to the world that, you know, it's a great alternative treatment for people who don't have to go through a big surgery or removal of the uterus. Hysterectomy is the last resource, you know, if you have cancer then cut it off but other than that you should try this thing. I'm happy."
