USA Fibroid Centers Founder and CEO Dr. Yan Katsnelson recently joined longtime New York radio personality and 103.5 KTU programming leader Steve Bartel for a conversation about uterine fibroids, their impact on women’s lives, and the importance of raising awareness of treatment options.
During the interview, Dr. Katsnelson shared that his journey from a Harvard-trained heart surgeon to the founder of USA Fibroid Centers was driven by a desire to help more patients through minimally invasive treatments. The discussion focused on one of the most common yet often overlooked women’s health conditions: uterine fibroids.
Key Topics Discussed
- What uterine fibroids are and why they are so common
- Symptoms women should not ignore, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and fertility challenges
- How fibroids can significantly impact physical, emotional, social, and financial well-being
- The importance of early diagnosis through ultrasound screening
- Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), a minimally invasive treatment that can help relieve symptoms without hysterectomy
- Why patient education and awareness are critical to helping women advocate for their health
Throughout the conversation, Dr. Katsnelson emphasized that many women unnecessarily suffer with fibroid symptoms for years because they believe their experiences are normal or are unaware of available treatment options.
“Women don’t have to accept fibroid symptoms as a normal part of life,” Dr. Katsnelson explained. “When patients understand their options, they can make informed decisions and seek treatment that helps them regain their quality of life.”
