WHAT HAPPENS IF UTERINE FIBROIDS ARE NOT PROMPTLY TREATED?

 Ignoring the Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids Can Lead to More Problems with Your Health



Issues that can worsen if fibroids are not treated:

1. The continued growth of fibroids can cause worsening pelvic pain and discomfort.

2. Bleeding during your menstrual cycle can worsen, leading to anemia (low blood levels) which could possibly require a blood transfusion and cause severe fatigue.

3. If a fibroid blocks the uterine cavity, it could require emergency surgery.

4. If a fibroid presses on the bladder, it could cause urine to back up into the kidneys, eventually leading to urinary tract infections and requiring a tube to drain the kidney

A Treatment for Uterine Fibroids You Need to Know About

 UTERINE FIBROID EMBOLIZATION TREATMENT –UFE 

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a non-surgical permanent treatment for fibroids. Compared to the surgical options, UFE results in fewer complications, no hospital stay, and a quicker recovery time. 


 Long-term data show that 90 to 95% of women who have the UFE procedure report ongoing satisfaction and significant or total symptomatic relief for many years following the procedure.

What are the symptoms of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)?

Image
Peripheral arterial disease, or PAD , can be a wake-up call for more extensive problems such as heart disease. We often think of clogged artery disease, or arteriosclerosis, as something that only happens in the heart. Yet for some people, the leg pain caused by PAD acts as an “early warning” that someone is at high risk for a heart attack or a stroke. Peripheral artery disease symptoms may include– Coldness in the lower leg or foot, especially when compared with the other side Leg numbness or weakness No pulse or a weak pulse in the legs or feet Painful cramping in one or both of the hips, thighs, or calf muscles after certain activities, such as walking or climbing stairs Shiny skin on the legs Skin color changes on the legs Studies have also suggested that early vascular care intervention increases life expectancy in PAD patients. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) happens when the arteries in your legs become narrow, usually because of atherosclerosis, or the buildup of plaque on yo...

Aching, heavy or tired Legs? It could indicate Varicose Veins or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD):

Image
Heavy legs can indicate that they are subject to heavy loads. After a long period of sitting or standing, you might prefer to put your feet up and rest your legs in the evening. Your legs can also feel heavy after long journeys. Heavy legs and aching in the evenings can mean that the blood is pooling in the legs and not getting back up to the heart efficiently.  This is known as venous reflux disease, the underlying cause of varicose veins.  This condition is common and easily treated in our office setting. Leg pain with activities such as walking can indicate there is not enough oxygenated blood reaching the leg muscles.  This is due to PAD . If you notice swelling in the evenings or have pain in your legs, you should consult a vascular specialist immediately.

CAUSES OF PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE

Image
  Peripheral artery disease (PAD ) occurs when the arteries that carry blood to your legs, abdomen, and arms become narrowed, reducing blood flow. The reduction occurs when a tablet, a fatty substance, builds up inside these arteries. Many people with peripheral artery disease (also called a peripheral arterial disease or peripheral vascular disease) have discomfort or pain when walking, called claudicating. The reduced blood flow may damage skin, muscle, and other tissues. In severe cases, blood clots or other problems can block arteries completely and even cause limb loss. Treatment can prevent these outcomes. Risk increases with age—12 to 20 percent of people who have PAD are over 60 years old. Smokers and people who have diabetes are also at risk. Peripheral artery disease results when you have atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries due to plaque buildup.                                  ...
