fibroids

I am 32 years old and I found out I had fibroids four years ago through an ultrasound at my OBGYN. The condition initialy started with sharp pain shooting through my pelvic area and now it just subside in my vaginal area. I have pressure on my bladder with frequent urination and pain. Also, the pain seems to be more severe when I am standing up and during sexual intercourse. My doctor thought all my pressure was not caused by my fibroids but I beg to differ. I had an laproscopic sugery where he looked at the fibroids and found some scar tissue and small fibroid in my uterus. I went to another doctor who suggested that I may have endometrosis and I were given three shot for six months, but there was no relief. Another attempt I had surgery for vaginal varicose veins, but it was unsucessful. To sum this up, I am fed up with the pain. After searching on the internet, I found this procedure Uterine Embolization which I am going to pursue to find some relief. I hope this will be my solution after years of agony. Eventually my husband and I can have the family, I so desperatly want.
