Evicting Fibroids and Welcoming a Baby

In a remarkable testament to the benefits of exploring fibroid treatment options and second opinions, Yvette Foy, 37, triumphs over fibroids and achieves her dream of pregnancy after Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) treatment at USA Fibroid Centers in Philadelphia, PA. This success story shines a spotlight on the possibilities UFE offers to women dealing with fibroids and the potential fertility challenges associated with the condition.

Fibroids are a common affliction among women, often resulting in discomfort, debilitating symptoms, and, in some cases, fertility issues. Yvette Foy faced such a predicament when she was advised to undergo a hysterectomy. However, she had her heart set on becoming a mother and believed that fibroids were the primary obstacle to her pregnancy. Foy expressed, “I think when I had fibroids, I didn’t get pregnant because the tumors were too big.” And 2 years after her UFE procedure, her motherhood story began.

Instead of choosing to undergo a hysterectomy, Yvette Foy decided to see if she was a candidate for the less invasive Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) treatment, available at USA Fibroid Centers.

UFE has proven to be a proven solution, effectively alleviating painful and uncomfortable fibroid symptoms while preserving the uterus, making it a viable option for women like Yvette who aspire to conceive.

Yvette Foy’s journey to motherhood was made possible under the care of Dr. Aaron Shiloh, an interventional radiologist at the Pennsylvania fibroid treatment locations. As a trusted specialist at USA Fibroid Centers, which operates over 40 centers nationwide, Dr. Shiloh expresses the importance of understanding fibroids’ impact on pregnancy and labor and delivery.

“Fibroids can sometimes cause fertility issues and even complications during pregnancy or childbirth,” Dr. Shiloh explained. “We advise patients who suffer from fibroids or suspect they do, to get screened and consider treatment before getting pregnant.”

USA Fibroid Centers’ commitment to recognizing that every individual’s case is unique is exemplified by Yvette’s healthy pregnancy and the birth of her baby after undergoing Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). Her journey serves as a shining example of what is possible with personalized care.

Yvette Foy’s successful pregnancy has been a light of hope for women facing similar challenges.
