Uterine fibroid embolization is a procedure to shrink noncancerous tumours in the uterus called uterine fibroids.

Blood is carried back from the testes to the heart by veins. The veins have valves to prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction. When the valves fail to work correctly, blood flows downwards into the scrotal area, increasing the pressure in the veins of the testes.
Varicose veins are veins under the skin of the legs. The blood moves towards the heart by one-way valves in the veins. When your vein walls are weak and your valves are not working right, blood backs up, making the veins widen, bulge, and twist.
