What leads to poor circulation in the legs? Diseased vein valves allow blood to pool, which causes decreased circulation. Over time, the blood that pools within your legs can cause painful symptoms, inflammation, and put you at risk for serious health conditions. Find out more how VIRA can help diagnose and treat leg vein issues.

"If you have fibroids, you definitely don’t want to have a full hysterectomy because it’s major surgery. And for you to go through a major surgery when you can actually have the UFE, a simple procedure, a one day procedure, I would suggest you have the UFE. There’s no pain really involved other than some cramps afterwards. And the down time is really short compared to a hysterectomy, no more than 7 days and you’re back at it---actually more like 4 days."
