I had a very successful embolization of multiple fibroids with Dr.Crowe few years ago. I needed to have another follow on consultation on some of the new symptoms and Dr.Crowe suggested the way forward very professionally. Absolutely recommend this doctor for fibroid treatment.

I would highly recommend Dr Paul Crowe if you need help with those painful fibroids that start to grow inside your womb. At the beginning of the menopause, I was prescribed HRT patches to deal with the hot flashes. Unfortunately, the estrogen somehow “woke up” old fibroids that started to grow bigger, causing pressure to my bladder and bleeding. I was given the option to have a total hysterectomy and continue using the HRT or stop the HRT but experience the rest of the menopausal side effects but, eventually, the estrogen “dependent” fibroids might shrink. I was scared to have the very invasive operation, which in my case would have been an open surgery hysterectomy, and concerned about the long recovery – 6 weeks period, which I could not afford. I was also not keen to stop my treatment with HRT. I did some research and came upon the non – invasive procedure, called fibroid embolization, and the best name in that field in the UK was Dr. Paul Crowe. I contacted his secretary and was booked for consultation very soon. Dr Crowe was extremely kind, professional, and understanding. I went ahead with the procedure without any hesitation. Six months later, the 3 fibroids have shrunk almost half their size (the biggest 8 cm is now 5 cm), I have no bleeding anymore and I do not feel the pressure inside my tummy. I do not need the operation and I can still have my HRT patches. You can trust Dr Crowe completely! He is a very highly skilled professional and a devoted doctor!
