Heartland Vein and Vascular Institute Offers Help, Hope for Patients with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome

La Vista, NE (PRWEB) June 14, 2013

The Heartland Vein and Vascular Institute in La Vista, Nebraska is providing information on how to relieve the symptoms of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. This medical issue causes chronic pain in the pelvis and back, leaving many sufferers desperate for solutions.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is caused by varicose veins in the pelvic area. Over the counter pain relievers can help reduce symptoms in some cases. In other cases it is necessary to treat the problematic vein. Endovascular Embolization is a common treatment for Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, says Dr. Thomas Whittle, a leading vein doctor at Heartland Vein and Vascular Institute. The procedure blocks off a diseased vein from the rest of the system, helping to reduce pressure and pain.

The vein center offers support and diagnostic tools for patients struggling with this painful syndrome. They are offering more information on treating this problem through Facebook, Twitter, and an informative video.

Anyone dealing with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is encouraged to get in touch with a vein doctor. Proper diagnosis and treatment will help ease the symptoms.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options

Varicose veins and spider veins are extremely common in men and women. While spider veins are very small, reddish veins on the surface of the skin, varicose veins are much larger, bulging, tangled veins that may appear bluish in color. Men and women suffer from varicose veins, although women are much more likely to have them. Today, patients have access to a number of effective varicose vein treatment options.

Advancements in technology and medicine have led to the development of effective, minimally invasive treatments that produce optimal results with few side-effects or downtime. These treatments include sclerotherapy, radio frequency ablation, phlebectomy, and endovenous laser ablation.

Short Documentaries Share Messages of Hope: Okuyamba, Mondays at Racine, RARE to Screen at 29th Annual Long Island Film Festival

Three award-winning documentary films will screen in a single block on Sunday, February 24, 2013 at the 29th Annual Long Island Film Festival, being held at The Hyatt in Hauppauge, New York.

Okuyamba, the Lugandan word meaning to help, focuses on the common mission shared by a small band of palliative care nurses working tirelessly to ease the pain and suffering of AIDS and cancer patients, dying deep in the rural villages of Uganda. Filmmakers Mike Wargo and Ted Mandell take viewers deep into the forests of Uganda and offer a glimpse of the astounding challenges facing its terminally ill people. Sharing the stories of the 90 percent of the population who receive no assistance with pain or comfort during their final days, the filmmakers also capture the difference palliative care makes in the lives of those receiving it.

Released in 2012, Okuyamba has won numerous awards, including the National Hospice Foundations Inaugural Morfogen Art of Caring Award as well as awards from the Indie Fest, Best Shorts, Accolade Competition and Prestige Awards.

Patient at Derm Hair Clinic Shows There Is Hair Transplant Hope for Severe Baldness

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 02, 2013

Severely bald patients have been rejected for hair restoration surgeries up until now. Dr. Sanusi Umar, a leading innovator in advanced FUE with uGraft shows that even profound hair loss is treatable.

In February of this year, one of his patients, who was a Norwood 7 (the most advanced stage of baldness), reached his six month mark after his surgery where 10,500 grafts were used. The patient had asked for a conservative level of coverage, along with a high hairline. And with his remarkable new look, he no longer has to use a hairpiece. And, more improvements are expected from this point on. The patient's before and after video can be viewed here.

NEW POSSIBILITIES WITH BODY HAIR FOLLICLES FOR SEVERE BALDNESS

Many people find it ironic that a balding patient needs to have hair to get the hair. Conventional hair restoration procedures rely on harvesting follicles from the back and sides of the head. They are then inserted into carefully placed slits in the hair loss regions.

Because the immune system tends to attack proteins that are foreign to the body, these hair follicles must be ones own. They cannot be from another person.

Severely bald patients often have just a small margin of hair around the lower sides and back of their head. This does not offer enough grafts for adequate coverage. Therefore, these individuals have typically been denied candidacy for these procedures.

Through numerous successes on a variety of real patient cases, Dr. Umar has shown that hair follicles from other areas of the body can offer an abundant source of donor follicles to benefit the most severe cases of baldness. He has developed a proprietary treatment system called uGraft that allows him to make precise excisions to safely extract healthy, undamaged hair follicles. The resulting wounds are minuscule and heal very quickly. And the risk of scarring is extremely minimal, which is quite important when extracting grafts from highly visible body areas like the face.

In body hair transplant procedures, natural groupings of hair (follicular units) can be directly harvested from regions such as: nape of the neck, chest, legs, arms, abdomen, back and face. These grafts can then be inserted into areas of hair loss.

THE USE OF BEARD HAIR FOLLICLES FOR THE SEVERELY BALD

Dr. Umars patient received a combination of donor grafts from the beard area and the head. In most men, facial hair tends to grow quite abundantly. The quantity of follicles in this region can be particularly advantageous for severely bald individuals. These follicles can be re purposed to help reverse the signs of hair loss. Non head hair usually takes about two years to display its fullest growth. Research and results on actual patients show that hair from body follicles lasts long term.
