Patient Story
I am thin. I have always been an active woman who exercises.
However, during the past few years my belly started to bloat and my menstrual flow increased so heavily that there were times I felt uncomfortable with even getting out of the house.
At the beginning I thought these were the normal effects of growing older (I am 44 years old); but when I started feeling really weak I decided to consult with my physician.
He diagnosed me with anemia caused by three fibroids, one of which measured 7 cm of diameter. Ever since I was treated, I gained my figure back, my menstrual periods returned to normality and I was able to go on with my daily activities.
I’m incredibly grateful to ExAblate Mexico!
What are uterine fibroids?

One out of six women between 30 and 50 years of age has uterine fibroids. Their symptoms are easily confused with some effects of menstruation and may cause a considerable deterioration in the quality of life of the women who suffer them.
Uterine myomas or fibroids are benign tumors (non-cancerous) developed in the walls of the uterus or from them. They may develop alone or in clusters and can be as small as a seed or as large as a grapefruit.
They can affect women under childbearing age, and although it is not frequent, they may also appear in very young women.
Symptomatic fibroids cause the following disorders:
- Heavy, prolonged, and painful menstrual bleedings that may cause anemia.
- Abdominal swelling (that may even look like a 5-month pregnancy).
- More frequent urination and/or recurrent urinary infections.
- Constipation.
- Lower back or leg pain.
- Pain during sexual intercourse.
Fibroids may also cause infertility, make pregnancy more difficult or endanger it.
