Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is caused by varicose veins in the pelvis that lead to ongoing pain and pressure.

Common symptoms include:
• Dull, aching pelvic pain (worse after standing)
• Pain during or after in*******se
• Heaviness or swelling in the pelvis/legs
• Varicose veins around the pelvis or thighs

The good news? PCS can often be treated with medication, but even if conservative treatments don't work, you still have options. Ovarian Vein Embolization is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that brings real relief. 💜

Big news for women’s health! The official recommendations for breast cancer screening have been updated, and here’s what you need to know:
✅ Start earlier – Screening should begin at age 40 (not 50).
✅ Every year – Most women ages 40–74 should get a mammogram every year.
✅ After 75 – Screening is a personal decision based on your health and life expectancy.

Why the change?
👉 Breast cancer is showing up more often in younger women (40s).
👉 Early detection saves lives.
👉 Earlier screening can help reduce disparities, especially among women of color.

One in 8 women will face breast cancer in her lifetime—but screening helps catch it early, when it’s most treatable.
Visit our specialized imaging center, Diagnostic Imaging, for a mammogram this month! Just call 901.387.2340 or visit diagnosticimagingpc.com.

A common, and treatable, cause of chronic scrotal discomfort may be varicocele—an enlarged vein in the sc***um that can lead to aching or heaviness.

Varicocele Embolization is a minimally invasive solution for relieving this pain. The non-surgical procedure involves only a tiny incision, requires no stitches, and is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients recover quickly and return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.

❌ False!

Pain, cramping, or fatigue in your legs while walking could be a sign of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a serious condition caused by narrowed arteries reducing blood flow to your limbs.

PAD isn't just about leg discomfort; it’s a red flag for your heart health and can increase your risk of heart attack or stroke if left untreated.

🦵 Don't ignore the signs. If walking causes pain that goes away with rest, it’s time to talk to your doctor.

Swelling, aching calves, tingling, or bulging veins might seem like everyday discomforts. But these “everyday” symptoms might be signs of something more serious: chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)—a common, but often overlooked circulatory disorder.

🩸 CVI affects up to 40% of Americans and happens when leg veins struggle to send blood back to the heart, causing blood to pool and pressure to build. Left untreated, it can lead to lasting damage, including ulcers and blood clots.

🧠 The good news? It’s treatable—especially when caught early.

👉 Learn the 5 essentials to know about CVI: who’s at risk, early warning signs, and how to find relief.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common yet often underdiagnosed condition that occurs when narrowed arteries limit blood flow to your legs and feet. It impacts millions of Americans — but many don’t know they have it until symptoms become serious.
Fast facts about PAD:

Most often caused by atherosclerosis — a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries.
Can lead to leg pain, cramping, numbness, or weakness — especially during walking or exercise.
PAD isn’t just a “leg issue” — it’s a red flag for higher risk of heart attack and stroke.

Early detection matters.

If you’re living with the discomfort, heavy bleeding, or pressure caused by uterine fibroids, you may think surgery—like a hysterectomy—is your only path to relief. But that’s no longer the case.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that shrinks fibroids by cutting off their blood supply. It’s performed by an interventional radiologist and typically requires only a short recovery period—often just a few days.

UFE offers an effective, lower-risk alternative to surgery with no incisions, no hospital stay, and fewer complications. For many women, it’s a life-changing option that preserves the uterus and restores quality of life.
