Why enlarged prostates cause frequent urination

April 27, 2026/0 Comments/in Uncategorized/by Adrienne McCarthy

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, can compress the urethra and disrupt the normal flow of urine. This obstruction often causes frequent urination, urgency, weak stream, and difficulty emptying the bladder. Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the prostate’s blood supply with micro particles, causing it to shrink and relieving urinary symptoms. PAE provides an effective, non-surgical option for men seeking long-term relief from BPH. To find out if PAE could be suitable for you, please visit our website.

A dual‑action approach to tumours

April 23, 2026/0 Comments/in Uncategorized/by Adrienne McCarthy

Trans‑Arterial Chemoembolisation (TACE) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats liver tumours using a dual‑action approach. It combines targeted chemotherapy delivery directly into the tumour-feeding arteries with embolisation, where tiny particles block these vessels to cut off the tumour’s blood supply. This concentrated strategy allows the chemotherapy to act locally while depriving the tumour of oxygen and nutrients, maximising tumour control and reducing systemic side effects. Performed under local anaesthesia, TACE is precise, minimally invasive, and may require only a short hospital stay 🔬

How VABB targets non-palpable breast lesions

April 21, 2026/0 Comments/in Uncategorized/by Adrienne McCarthy

Vacuum‑Assisted Breast Biopsy (VABB) precisely targets non-palpable breast lesions using advanced imaging guidance. Ultrasound or mammography helps the clinician pinpoint the area of concern, while a small probe is inserted through a tiny incision. Gentle suction collects multiple tissue samples from the exact spot in a single pass, improving diagnostic accuracy. In some cases, small benign lesions can even be completely removed. This minimally invasive approach reduces discomfort and allows for faster, same-day recovery. To learn more about VABB, please visit our website.

Diagnosing neurological conditions with MRI

April 15, 2026/0 Comments/in Uncategorized/by Adrienne McCarthy

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is particularly useful for detecting neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, brain tumours, stroke, and nerve injuries. MRI allows doctors to visualise abnormalities with high precision, enabling accurate diagnosis and informed treatment planning. The procedure is painless, involves no radiation, and provides crucial insights into the structure and function of the nervous system 🧠

Fibroids and Anaemia

April 13, 2026/0 Comments/in Uncategorized/by Adrienne McCarthy

Fibroids are benign growths in the uterus that can cause heavy, prolonged, or irregular menstrual bleeding. Over time, this excessive blood loss may deplete iron stores in the body and lead to iron‑deficiency anaemia. Symptoms of anaemia can include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and feeling cold. Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the blood supply to specific fibroids, causing them to shrink and reducing bleeding. By addressing the source of heavy menstrual loss, UFE can help improve anaemia and enhance overall wellbeing. For more information, please visit our website.

Secondary infertility after pregnancy

April 9, 2026/0 Comments/in Uncategorized/by Adrienne McCarthy

Secondary infertility occurs when a woman struggles to conceive after previously giving birth. It can be caused by changes in the reproductive system after pregnancy, infections, or complications during childbirth. Even if conception was previously successful, scar tissue, blocked fallopian tubes, or hormonal imbalances can affect fertility the second time around. Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) is a minimally invasive procedure that clears blockages in the fallopian tubes, restoring their normal function and improving a woman’s chances of conceiving naturally. If you would like to learn more about FTR, please visit our website.
