Thanks for your question. It is important to understand that a uterine artery embolization may be beneficial to women with large uterine fibroids. If this is the cause of your bleeding the embolization may help that particular symptom. The embolization would
not be expected to improve the uterine prolapse or symptoms related to Painful Bladder Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis. I am glad to hear that the botox injuction relieved 50% of your pain. That certainly suggests you are on the right track. If may need to be repeated. Common ways to manage uterine prolapse include: a pessary device, a rigorous program of pelvic floor muscle conditioning, and surgery (with or without hysterectomy). Talk to your doctor about all of these options at your next visit and make sure that you have a clear understanding as to which therapy is being offered for which problem. Good luck.
47yr old female....For the past two months I have been bleeding like a period sometimes heavier... than normal.. I had a tubal about almost 12 years ago... when my last child was born.. I have normal 5 day periods the first week of every month...however, in between, two weeks later I'm bleeding again but with pain on my left side..I have gone to hospital emergency room... they did X-rays and CT scans with contract dyes... but they claim everythings normal..This is not normal... something is causing it... I had every symptom of an etopic preg. but that came up neg. too... I was in a wreck a few weeks ago...and that's when the pain got worse that sent me to ER...They found fluid in my pelvic area... and they put me on an antibiotic.. which I've been on for a week now..and I'm still in pain.... my side still hurts and I'm bleeding again... What's going on... ?????? No one will give me answers...
Also... All my life I have had normal periods until April 2010... April and May so far have been bleeding every 2 weeks... Confused at whats wrong...
Is it harmonal imbalance...????
