Can stress cause fibroid symptoms to flare up?

/0 Comments/in /by

 

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus, that when severe, can significantly affect your quality of life. Stress doesn’t directly cause fibroids, but it can worsen the symptoms, leading to increased pelvic pain, heavier periods, and bloating. This happens when stress hormones like cortisol influence your body’s inflammatory response and hormone balance, exacerbating discomfort. Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) offers an effective, non-surgical treatment for fibroids and all of the associated symptoms. If you have been diagnosed and would like to learn more about UFE, please send us a DM or visit our website 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/ufe/

A cardiac MRI provides detailed imaging of the heart and surrounding blood vessels using magnetic fields and radio waves. This non-invasive scan helps diagnose various conditions, including coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, heart valve abnormalities, congenital heart defects, and inflammation of the heart muscles or lining. It also evaluates heart function and tissue viability, making it vital for personalised treatment planning.

DEXA Scans: Beyond Osteoporosis Diagnosis

/0 Comments/in /by

A bone density or DEXA scan is a non-invasive test designed to assess your bone health by measuring bone density. DEXA is highly efficient in detecting osteoporosis or bone loss, especially in women over 50 who are at higher risk. And that’s not all, our DEXA machine goes beyond just bone density analysis. DEXA is also able to measure body composition, providing detailed insights into fat and muscle distribution. We are also able to assesses fracture risk, empowering you to take proactive steps towards optimal health.

Fact or Myth: UFE will damage my uterus

/0 Comments/in /by

Myth! Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) is a safe and effective procedure that targets fibroids without harming the uterus and offers significant relief from fibroid symptoms without invasive surgery. UFE works by blocking the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and eventually disappear. Unlike a hysterectomy, UFE preserves the uterus. This makes it a preferred treatment for women who wish to have children one day.

An ultrasound-guided biopsy is a procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to precisely guide a needle to the area of interest, to obtain a tissue sample for testing. This method provides a safe and accurate way to assess whether cancer is present. The procedure involves no major surgery and is performed with local anesthesia, making it comfortable for the patient. Ultrasound imaging allows the doctor to navigate to the targeted tissue with great precision, ensuring the sample is taken from the right spot.

What can DEXA diagnose?

/0 Comments/in /by

A Bone Density Scan (DEXA) is an imaging test that helps to assess your bone health. This is a non-invasive procedure used to measure bone mineral density, helping to diagnose conditions like osteoporosis. By evaluating the strength of your bones, a DEXA scan provides early insights into potential risks of fractures, especially in women over 50 or those at higher risk. If you are concerned about your bone health or there is osteoporosis in your family, a DEXA scan could be the first step in proactive care.
