Fibroid Ambassador and celebrity Cynthia Bailey Says She Was In a ‘Dark Place’ Before Receiving ‘Amazing’ Fibroid Treatment
The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star is taking advantage of Women’s History Month to remind fibroid patients that a hysterectomy isn’t the only option for relief. After undergoing a successful uterine fibroid embolization, Cynthia talked with People Magazine about why having the benign tumors growing in her womb left her in a “dark place” mentally and impacted so many aspects of her life that she felt like a “disaster.”
“It not only affected me. It was affecting my family, my husband, my sex life,” she says. “I was moody. I was exhausted. I was anemic. I was bleeding all the time. I was a disaster,” Bailey says.
Dr. Yan Katsnelson, the founder of USA Fibroid Centers, which has clinics across the country, tells PEOPLE about the procedure: “UFE procedure is done through [a] catheter. They enter in the wrist or in the groin and the catheter goes around, [into] the blood vessels towards the origin of the arteries that feed the fibroids.”
