Mri- guided ultrasound therapy for fibroids?!
Question:
Mri- guided ultrasound therapy for fibroids?
My wife has a 15 cm fibroid. She is 50 years old and just graduated from engineering school. She would like to get a job, but a hysterectomy will put her out of the market for longer than she'd like. Uterine Arterial Embolization is not an option since she is allergic to iodine used in the procedure.
My question, has anyone had MRI-guided ultrasound therapy for this condition? How did it work? Any leads on where it might be performed (other than Mt. Sinai) in the Northeast?
Thanks
Answers:
That will not work for all kinds of fibroids. Only intra-uterine ones and anyway, you have to be prepared for hysterectomy as well in case anything goes wrong.
I m sorry, I dunno the place but wish you good luck!
