Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are common benign tumors of the uterus. Hormones and genetics influence their growth. Many need no treatment, but options range from medical therapy and minimally invasive procedures to myomectomy or hysterectomy depending on symptoms and fertility goals.
Memory loss ranges from normal forgetfulness to amnesia caused by injury, disease, or reversible medical problems. Evaluation includes history, cognitive screening (MMSE or MoCA), imaging, and targeted tests. Treatment addresses reversible causes, symptom management, and lifestyle measures to support brain health.
Breast cancer can recur locally, regionally, or at distant sites. Evaluation starts with exam and biopsy; imaging is guided by symptoms. Receptor retesting guides subsequent treatment.
A modern breast health plan pairs appropriate screening imaging, clinician exams when indicated, and breast self-awareness. Screening timing and frequency depend on individual risk and guideline source; discuss a personalized plan with your clinician.
Multiple sclerosis causes a wide range of symptoms that reflect where the nervous system is affected. Vision problems, numbness, weakness, fatigue, bladder changes, and cognitive or mood symptoms are common, but severity and course vary widely.
Brain tumor symptoms depend on tumor type and location. New or progressive headaches, seizures, focal neurological changes (vision, weakness), and cognitive shifts warrant prompt medical evaluation; emergency care is needed for sudden severe signs.
Cellulite has no universal cure. Some procedures - like subcision and injectable collagenase - can improve appearance for some people; many other options give modest or temporary results. Lifestyle changes help but rarely eliminate cellulite.
Radiation options for prostate cancer include internal brachytherapy (LDR seeds or HDR temporary implants) and external beam radiation (IMRT, SBRT, proton). Modern imaging and hypofractionation have shortened courses and improved targeting; side effects and outcomes depend on stage and individual factors.
A clear, updated overview of how breast cancer is diagnosed today: the role of mammography, ultrasound, MRI, biopsy types, receptor and genomic testing, and when blood tests or advanced scans are used.
