During a stenting procedure, flexible catheters and a balloon are used to reopen a blocked artery. The catheter with an uninflated balloon is guided to the site of the obstruction, then the balloon is inflated to widen the vessel. Once the artery is expanded, a permanent mesh stent is placed to maintain consistent blood flow. If multiple blockages are present, the procedure may be repeated to support comprehensive cardiovascular health. Patients may feel slight pressure at the insertion site or mild discomfort during inflation, but the technique is designed to be as comfortable as possible ⚕️

Hormonal irregularities and physical tubal blockages represent two distinct challenges. While procedures such as Fallopian Tube Recanalisation may address mechanical obstructions, hormonal imbalances can influence fertility by affecting the regularity of ovulation.Fluctuations in chemical messengers, including Follicle‑Stimulating Hormone and Luteinising Hormone, may interfere with the release or maturation of an egg.Achieving a successful pregnancy often requires a comprehensive assessment to ensure both structural pathways are clear and the endocrine system is functioning optimally 🌸

Stereotactic breast biopsy is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to sample abnormalities that may not be visible on a standard ultrasound. A specialised digital mammography machine converts x-rays into electronic signals to produce high-resolution images. By taking images from two angles, the computer calculates the exact coordinates of the target, creating a precise map of microcalcifications or small lesions. A radiologist then inserts a needle through a small incision to collect tissue samples with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. This technique improves accurate diagnosis and supports early detection and management of non-palpable breast lesions. To learn more, visit our website.

Yes – in certain cases, Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) can be performed more than once. UFE works by blocking the blood supply to existing fibroids, causing them to shrink. However, it does not prevent new fibroids from developing in the future. If new fibroids grow and begin causing symptoms, a repeat procedure may be considered. That said, needing a second UFE is uncommon. Most women experience long-term relief after a single treatment. If you have been diagnosed and would like to learn more about UFE, visit our website.
