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've had a total of three CT scans so far. The first was a head CT back in 2009 when I was just 15. Then, in 2018, I had two more CT scans at the age of 24one of the whole abdomen without contrast in January and a combined neck, chest, and abdomen CT with contrast in May, just five months apart. I recently learned that having multiple CT scans might increase cancer risk, and its gotten me worried. Am I at high risk because of these scans? I'm not sure what to do now and could really use your advice.
Repeated exposure to radiation from CT scans can increase the risk of cancer in the body. The cumulative radiation dose from multiple CT scans, especially at a young age, is a concern. However, the exact level of risk depends on various factors such as the number of scans, the body parts scanned, and individual sensitivity to radiation. Since you have had multiple CT scans at a relatively young age, it is important to be cautious. To minimize the risk of radiation-induced cancer, it is advisable to discuss your concerns with your healthcare provider. They may consider alternative imaging techniques that do not involve radiation, if appropriate. Additionally, regular health check-ups and screenings can help in early detection of any potential issues. In terms of medication, there are no specific drugs to reduce the risk of radiation-induced cancer. It is more about monitoring your health and minimizing future exposure to unnecessary radiation.

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.
