Can Physical Exercise Help with Peripheral Arterial Disease?
https://youtu.be/q1ZDGt5Jd1A

According to Dr. Rundback, “Physical activity is a key component of the care for patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease. If you have pain when walking, and this is due to blocked arteries, one of the key things to do is to continue to walk through that pain. Over time, people can often increase their tolerance and walk further before the pain begins. This is effective, particularly when combined with medications as prescribed by doctors such as ourselves here at American Endovascular & Amputation Prevention.” Learn more today at https://americanendovascular.com/is-peripheral-arterial-disease-treatable/.

According to Healthline - Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is most common in adults over 50 but can also affect younger people.

The risk of developing PAD is four times higher for people who smoke than for nonsmokers.

Peripheral Arterial Disease is a type of Peripheral Vascular Disease.

PAD is a circulatory condition that causes a narrowing of the arteries. It can lead to poor circulation in your extremities, typically the legs. In an associated condition called atherosclerosis, arteries stiffen due to plaque buildup in the arteries and blood vessels. Both conditions decrease blood flow to your extremities and can result in pain.
Reduced blood flow in your extremities can cause:

- numbness and tingling
- weakness
- pain
- swelling

In time, it can lead to nerve and tissue damage.

Without treatment, reduced blood flow and plaque in your carotid arteries may result in a stroke. Your carotid arteries are the major blood vessels that deliver blood to your brain. If plaque builds up in the arteries of your heart, you’re at risk of having a heart attack.

Do all uterine fibroids cause symptoms?

Uterine fibroids (also known as leiomyomas or myomas) are noncancerous tumors that form in the uterus. Though small fibroids may cause no symptoms, many women experience pain and other problems with large fibroids. Heavy menstrual bleeding is common, along with frequent urination, constipation, and even anemia.

It is important to understand fibroid symptoms so you can seek help from a specialist if needed.

Studies show that roughly 20 – 80% of women develop uterine fibroids or myomas by the time they reach 50. Fibroids generally appear during childbearing years but can form at any age. African American women and women with family members who have fibroids are more likely to develop them as well.

Women often ask us how their period will change after they have Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). Your first menstruation after Uterine Fibroid Embolization is usually better, but that is not always the case.

By your second cycle, it will be better, and then your third one will be even better.

It can take some time for the volume of bleeding to decrease with each cycle. Eventually, your menstruation becomes regular and much lighter. Additionally, patients begin to notice a decrease in uterus size.

The American Heart Association shares an article on food insecurity linked to increased heart risks for people with Peripheral Artery Disease.

Here are a few highlights of their article:
✔️ People with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) who live in a food desert, which is a community with low levels of access to retail outlets selling healthy and affordable foods, were 17% more likely to experience death, heart attack, or stroke compared with those who had adequate access to healthy, nutrition-rich food.
✔️ People with PAD living in food deserts were less likely to have a car and more likely to be Black or Hispanic, live in urban areas, and have chronic kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes, or high blood pressure.
✔️ Women with PAD were less likely to receive optimal medical treatment and more likely to be diagnosed with malnutrition and other chronic health conditions regardless of food access.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can lead to various urinary symptoms, as well as bladder, urinary tract, or kidney problems. Symptoms of BPH tend to gradually worsen over time.

As men age, they may develop BPH, which is the most common benign tumor found in men leading to the enlargement of the prostate gland. Prostate Artery Embolization blocks the blood flow to the prostate artery and uses advanced imaging techniques to see inside the body and provide treatment without surgery. This causes the prostate to shrink and allows improved urination and other symptoms for the patient.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please give us a call today to schedule a consultation. If you are concerned that you might have BPH, it is critical to schedule a consultation now at https://americanendovascular.com/pae-newyork/ or call us at 1-833-426-3636.

Did you know that Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is performed as an outpatient procedure, and no general anesthesia is required?

Have you been dealing with an enlarged prostate?

PAE deprives the prostate of oxygenated blood, which causes it to shrink, improving your benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms.

PAE can take anywhere from 1-2.5 hours, depending on the location and size of the arteries to be embolized. This is a complex procedure because of the very small size of the prostatic arteries and the “twists-and-turns” required to navigate the catheter to them. However, American Endovascular physicians are highly skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of BPH. They utilize the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques to deliver the highest quality outcomes for patients suffering from an enlarged prostate.
