She knows firsthand the intense pain and side effects of invasive fibroids. “I experienced heavy menstrual periods with severe abdominal cramping. I was also going to the bathroom every hour due to frequent urination. The heavy bleeding led to feelings of embarrassment, and I often did not want to leave the house in fear I would soil my clothes. The pain was so intense I had to take ibuprofen on a regular basis. Since the procedure, my menstrual flow has significantly decreased, I am able to leave my home with more confidence, and I no longer need ibuprofen during my period.” -Cindy Greenwood, NP-C Uterine fibroids may feel like an invasion. Your treatment doesn't have to be.
