Uterine fibroids are growths in the uterus that as many as 3 out of 4 women experience during their childbearing years.

These fibroids are non-cancerous, but sometimes can produce adverse symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, overly long menstrual periods, pelvic pressure and pain, backaches, and difficulty with constipation or frequent urination.

You know that you are looking for an experienced oncologist, and one with a good reputation, but did you know that it’s more important to look at the full team of doctors who will be helping you?

Modern cancer treatment is very much a team activity, with oncologists, oncological surgeons, radiation oncologists, pain management specialists and interventional radiologists all working together to give you the best possible care.

There are two basic types of pain – acute (short-lived) pain, and chronic (long-term) pain.
The treatment option that will work best for you depends to some extent on several factors – whether your pain is acute or chronic, how severe your pain is, and how you respond to different types of pain treatment.

Fibroid tumors, sometimes referred to as myomas, are benign tumors that develop in the walls of the uterus. While it is very rare for these tumors to turn cancerous, they can cause extremely unpleasant symptoms, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, painful cramping, chronic pain in the pelvic region, and pressure on the bladder or bowels.

MTV IR offers effective treatments for scrotal varicocele, a common cause of male infertility.

A varicocele refers to abnormal vein enlargement in the scrotum. Varicocele is basically the same as varicose veins, which occur when the valves inside the veins stop working properly and, as a result, blood flows the wrong way down the body instead of back to the heart.

The renowned interventional oncology specialists of MTVIR want you to know that benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate enlargement, isn’t cancer.

However, it can share some symptoms with prostate cancer.
