Almost every woman has fibroids, but having them doesn’t feel normal.

She has a fibroid issue that might go away
After worsening for ten years;
It’s hard to say.

She could fix it with non-surgical intervention
A single day insertion
UA Embolization.

Its benefit is recovery, and its drawback the tendency
For the problem to return, eventually.

Her doctors say a hysterectomy
Has a laser cut, and compared to previously,
A fast recovery.

Its benefit is permanency, and its drawback cuts internally, imbalance hormonally.

There’s no easy answer, but she said UA.
Set a reminder, scheduled it for a day
Only a month away.
