I'm dealing with adenomyosis and PCOS and have really heavy bleeding with severe pain every month. I've tried other treatments like the Mirena IUD but nothing worked. Doctors are suggesting a hysterectomy but before going for surgery, I want to explore uterine artery embolization. Can this treatment help me? Looking for a good doctor in Mumbai or Ahmedabad who specializes in this procedure

I'm a bit confused about something that came up in my chest X-ray report. It mentions "anterior left 4th and right 3rd bifid ribs." The doctor didn't really elaborate and just mentioned that it's normal, but I'm still curious. Could this affect my health in any way, or is it something I shouldn't worry about? Would love to get a little more insight on what this means.

Bifib ribs are usually asymtomatic.If it causes nerve damage surgery is indicated.Partial resection of the bifid rib relieves the pain.

I'm a bit confused about my x-ray reports. The first time I got it done, the results seemed off, but when I had another one the next day, everything looked fine. I'm just trying to understand if it's common to get different x-ray results like that, and if there's a chance something could have gone wrong the first time. Is this something I should worry about?

I just had my medical examination for a visa today and they had to take my X-ray 3 or 4 times because it wasn't coming out clear. Then they put this round iron thing with white tape on my nipple. Could this cause any problems or show up as some kind of opacity on the X-ray? I'm a bit confused about what this means.
