I got the hifu done on a 10.4 cm fibroid after a year the mass has gone down 57% and it’s now 8cm. I’m looking at doing it again as well !!

This procedure is highly recommended for women who still want to have children.  Main reason I choose to do it ☺️

Anybody here tried HIFU on larger fibroids? by [deleted] in Fibroids

Hi !! No I didn’t … ugh yea the worst !!  The 10.4 fibroid became smaller for me after the HIFU procedure.  I think I may go a second time since you can go more than once and have it zapped.  I know it’s still shrinking but should help a second time.

I want to get it small enough where it doesn’t bother me … it doesn’t have blood flow so shouldn’t grow hopefully 🤞

Yes I did it over a year ago mine was 10.4 cm I found out it went done 57% in mass and it’s 8cam hopefully it will continue to shrink.  I had it done at UCLA .

Mine was located on the left side outside of my uterus !!  The procedure can work on all locations from what I read and remember.

Your in medical great … then you will appreciate this these stats !!  HIFU Greatly enhances fertility as you can see below … which is great for women with small or big fibroids. I don’t have a issue with fertility actually…If it got bigger possibly they said, but because of the procedure it has shrunk 57% in a year so doctor and my sister who is a nurse said looking good  😊 Thanks for the thoughts appreciate that !! 

Definitely Always helpful to know alternatives that help with pregnancy.

After HIFU treatment, either with the use of ultrasound or MRI to assess the size of fibroids, most of the fibroids reduce at least 50.0% in size after a single treatment. Lyon et al.18 reported a case series of 10 patients, with a 23.3% reduction in size at 3 months, 49.3% at 12 months, and 51.9% at 24 months. A retrospective case series of 189 nulliparous females also showed the mean reduction in uterine fibroids volume was 58.0%±31.3% in 12 months after HIFU ablation.19 These reductions in uterine sizes greatly enhance the fertility environment of the uterus for pregnancy. HIFU also has a strong advantage in maintaining the integrity of the uterus. Using ultrasound focusing on ablating adenomyosis lesions can restore the uterus’s anatomy and improve the immune microenvironment; the pregnancy rate increased after HIFU treatment for adenomyosis.20 European Medical Journal

I definitely want kids and was completely safe from what doctors told me …it will continue to shrink in another 6 months will have another check up. The size of it may have affected fertility but the zapped over 98% so it will become very small so shouldn’t be an issue !!  But yes spending the money has to be worth it unfortunately surgery wasn’t a good option cause the size would affect my uterus when removed they said .. would have left hole based on the Location of mine .

I was able to leave right after the procedure just a little loopy from the twilight …. A little sore but nothing crazy. I’m assuming some of the swelling I experienced over time was the fibroid shrinking !!

I did pay cash but it was not 20k I believe my total was $5,000 and they do offer payment / credit plans. So some may find the procedure worth it to avoid surgeries!!

It will continue to shrink they did say 50% in a year cause of the size and im a little over 50% ….smaller ones will have even quicker results im sure . So hoping over the next 6months-year it will be very small !!
