Fibromuscular Dysplasia treatment in Morelia

FMD, or fibromuscular dysplasia, is an abnormality in the wall of certain arteries in which the tissue grows abnormally, which can narrow, ripple, or weaken the blood vessel.

Where it affects: It usually involves the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys or the brain, though it can appear in other vessels.

Possible symptoms: Depending on the artery affected, it may be associated with high blood pressure, headache, ringing in the ears, or dizziness, though in many cases it goes unnoticed.

Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation is the responsibility of the vascular surgeon and, when cerebral vessels are affected, the neurosurgeon. With symptoms such as hard-to-control high blood pressure in young people, it is advisable to seek a professional evaluation.
