SYNPOSIS
Dr. Khilnani discusses the significance of identifying and treating venous disorders in patients with chronic pelvic pain. He emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach that includes detailed patient history, physical exams, and imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI for accurate diagnosis. The doctors also cover the evolution of embolization techniques, including the use of balloon occlusion and sclerosants and they underscore the importance of addressing underlying venous insufficiencies for effective pain management. Additionally, Dr. Khilnani highlights the interconnectedness of various pelvic symptoms and the potential for embolization to alleviate not just pelvic pain, but also related conditions such as painful bladder syndrome and orthostatic hypotension. The doctors acknowledge the ongoing research and the need for collaboration across specialties to improve patient outcomes in pelvic venous disorder.
