Success Story
Fibroids hurt Ingrid’s health and her sex life. Embolization freed her.
"“It was very painful. So I could not enjoy myself. And he wasn’t enjoying himself with me.” Fibroids made intimacy unpleasant. They also kept Ingrid weak, anxious and dangerously anemic. One quick, non-surgical treatment turned her life around."
