New Fibroid Treatment? From: anonymous@obgyn.net Thu, 20 Mar 1997 19:28:30 -0500 (EST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Kelly: "Re: PMS Medication" Previous message: Kathy: "Re: Vulvodynia (plus I need help myself)" I read a short article in our local paper this week about a new, non-invasive treatment for fibroids which may provide some women with an alternative to a hysterectomy. The embolization technique was described by a Dr. Scott Goodwin (UCLA) at a medical conference in Washington, D.C. and involves a 1/4" incision and uses a catheter to cut off blood flow to the fibroid, leaving the uterus in place. I don't currently have a problem with fibroids, but since it seems to be very common, I wanted to seek the opinion of our experts here...is this the wave of the future, or possibly something that's already being used, or a procedure that needs further study? Thanks! Darcy Johnson Next message: Kelly: "Re: PMS Medication" Previous message: Kathy: "Re: Vulvodynia (plus I need help myself)"
