- Dr. John Lipman of Atlanta Fibroid Center talks to his patient, who suffered 4 miscarriages due to uterine fibroids. She gave birth to a healthy, fully developed 9.6 lbs baby girl after UFE, and she got pregnant just a few weeks after the UFE procedure!
Dr. John Lipman and his patient discuss the popular myth that women cannot get pregnant after UFE, which is not true.

That's my question. Because since UFE came out. She is the only patient with baby. I am not sure about the full truth story. But I known that not enough data and clinical trial have shown that performing UFE won't embolize the blood supply to the uterus. So it makes sense for most physicians to advise their patients to do myomectomy to be the 100% risk to embolize their uterus artery. 1000s patients conceived after myomectomy versus only one patient from UFE.
More than 1 person has conceived after UFE.
Yes right because some doctors pushing you to get cut fast
Go glad I found your videos and the info. I am a nurse and have never heard about UFE. I had mine done in TX about 3 weeks ago. The one good thing about online communities is finding this type of info that we can use to advocate for ourselves as well as our family and patients.Thanks!
I had my surgery in 2018 and I’m relieved to know that the reports about UFE causing infertility are a MYTH. I am soooo relieved.
In the 9000 or so UFE procedures that I have performed over the past ~25yrs, I have not seen a patient that was under 40 years of age that didn't resume her menstrual after UFE. Even for woman 40-45 yrs of age it is only 1-2% chance. Usually women over 45 yrs of age are not interested in fertility.
@@Atlii hello, does this mean generally most women have healthy carry and deliver with no problem?
@@cami7961 While fibroids can cause difficulties in fertility, most women with fibroids have uneventful pregnancies. Women who have undergone myomectomy and get pregnant will deliver by c-section versus women who have gotten pregnant after UFE will have the option of a vaginal birth.
So am I,, I will go through this procedure next week and I was starting to get scared because I don't have kids yet :(

@@onicajohn9523 Hi Onica, how was the pain during the first few weeks after UFE?
Thanks Dr. Lipman for the explanation. Actually wanted you to do my ufe but my insurance couldn't covered Atlanta George
Thank you for this. I had a laparoscopic myomectomy 2 years ago, and am having all of the same symptoms again as of January. April. 2 years and 4 months later. Daily bleeding, pressure, pain, urinary frequency and the agonizing pain . I plan on scheduling this now

Glad you found this information to be helpful!
I have my ufe surgery this Thursday i cant wait to tell my story
Good luck. We wish you well and a speedy recovery.
Hi Johnae how are you doing after UFE?
How long did you take before pregnancy
I’m 23 with one fibroid. It is a 13cm submucosal fibroid. Would I be a good candidate for ufe. My doctors have never mentioned this procedure to me at all. Would I still be able to have children?
Miracle baby
If your family do not have fibroid how I have fibroid for 8 to 9 year from Trinidad and Tobago
Is this procedure performed in Nigeria.
Is there a way to have a ice reversed?
Can ufe be performed on large fibroid 20cm??
It was definitely, so, different.
I’m 29 and I was told Myomectomy or ufe are my only options but that Myomectomy would likely result in hysterectomy. I’m trying to have a baby and been told ufe is the safer route to preserve my uterus. Just concerning bc of all the studies i read and being told it could in some cases cause baby not to grow properly or reach full term. My doctor said something about ufe being reversed? I’m waiting to speak to radiologist for further explanation. I’m just so confused 😣
Myomectomy can result in hysterectomy. It also doesn't remove all of the fibroids and therefore you could be left with a lot of living fibroids which will grow after surgery. UFE treats all of the fibroids and does not risk hysterectomy so it is something to consider. The cases of the baby not growing were not due to the fact that the woman had UFE it likely happened due to advanced maternal age (>35 years). You are
After this procedure ivf is easy to don or not
I had them to
Where can one get this UFE procedure in Uganda East Africa
Try Aga Khan hospital in Nairobi..forget Uganda.
How long after the procedure did she get pregnant?
Patients are allowed to resume intercourse 2 weeks after the procedure. They are also instructed not to try to get pregnant until the 3 month follow up visit, but that doesn't always occur.
Can you have this done while you are pregnant
No, unfortunately a UFE procedure cannot be done during a pregnancy. If fibroids are an issue, we recommend having the UFE treatment before getting pregnant, then waiting 3 months before attempting to conceive. Dr. Lipman prefers patients return for a 3-month follow up after the UFE procedure.
Jayne L ok thanks
Ladies, I do have a say. My surgeon who performed my use did destroyed my ability to have kids. I have a son that’s a blessing but I li always wanted to have a second child. I’m now to oldie my 40”s. I know that having a child would be risky they say because of the surgery this docto seems to be good though.
You mean UFE? Or a myomectomy?
Please listen to me ladies. Do not do UFE surgery I was left with blood clots in my arm. It's horrible.
Bloodclots? 😮
Every surgery has risk. With a myomectomy you can still end up with a hysterectomy.
