“I had been experiencing a prolonged period and had been bleeding for about 12 days. I was having a really difficult time breathing, and when I left my home for an appointment with my two year old daughter, I ended up fainting in the elevator.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Wendy was consequently hospitalized at North Shore Manhasset and taken to the ER, where she was transfused with 3 units of blood. It turned out that Wendy had 9 fibroids – and she decided it was time to be evaluated by a specialist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

She googled ‘fibroid specialists’ and discovered Viva Eve. “After doing some research and reading the good patient reviews, I gave them a call and I was able to get scheduled in less than 24 hours. I was seen by Dr. Gohar, and the rest is the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

She describes her experience with Dr. Gohar as outstanding. “He was empathetic, caring, listened to me, and focused on education. He also created a treatment plan for me, and prescribed Lysteda to reduce the days of my period until I could be treated.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

In November of 2020, Wendy underwent the Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) procedure – a minimally invasive procedure that dramatically reduces fibroid symptoms by blocking blood flow to the fibroids. As a whole, she says the UFE procedure was very effective – but found recovery to be difficult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u201cI do think that the UFE process is definitely worth it. The downside is pain and pain management, but I feel that with proper pain management, it\u2019s so rewarding.\u201d Viva Eve’s team checks on patients daily for the first 3 days following the UFE procedure to help address pain or complications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Looking back, Wendy’s life is very different these days. “Now I am free of extended periods, I do not experience pain anymore, and I no longer struggle with incontinence — or painful sex. I think it\u2019s very important for women to know that the UFE is an option. It\u2019s a great option, and it\u2019ll change your life.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
