Less Pain, More Comfort, and a Noticeable Difference Early On
This patient came to United Vein & Vascular Centers OBL in Tampa looking for relief from symptoms that were affecting her daily comfort. She had been dealing with persistent pressure and pain in her abdomen, which led her to seek answers and explore treatment options.
After her evaluation, Megan K. moved forward with uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), a minimally invasive vascular procedure designed to reduce fibroid-related symptoms without the need for surgery.
Not long after treatment, Megan began to notice a difference. She shared that both bloating and pain had improved, with discomfort no longer being a constant issue. These early changes made a meaningful impact on how she felt day to day.
That improvement carried into her routine. She described feeling better overall, especially during activities like walking and exercising, and no longer experiencing the same level of discomfort at night.
Megan also spoke highly of her experience with the care team, noting that both the nurses and Dr. Shah were compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the process. Their approach helped her feel supported and confident in her care.
For others considering treatment, Megan recommends learning more about UFE as an option. She described the procedure as less invasive, with minimal downtime, and shared that she noticed a meaningful improvement within just a few days.
Why Her Story Matters
- Abdominal pressure and pain can be signs of uterine fibroids
- Minimally invasive vascular procedures like UFE can reduce symptoms without surgery
