Chronic Pelvic Pain Doctors in Maryland and D.C.

Posted November 13, 2019

Chronic pelvic pain is one of the most common reasons that women visit the gynecologist. At times it may seem like there is no practical solution for pelvic pain, which can be discouraging for many patients that visit pelvic pain doctors. Most people don’t realize that pelvic pain can be a symptom of a vascular condition. When your gynecologist gives no hope for your pain then it is time to visit a vascular specialist near you. 

The Center for Vascular Medicine are highly trained doctors that can work with you to find the best type of treatment for your unique needs. The good news is that pelvic pain caused by vascular problems is both easy to identify and can be treated through non-invasive measures. Once the first examination is complete and the source of the issue is identified, our doctors will further evaluate patients by performing venography where the blood flow is examined in the pelvic region. 

Treating Chronic Pelvic Pain

At the Center for Vascular Medicine, we understand that no two patients are alike. We work with each of our patients to build a treatment plan based on the unique needs. The following minimally-invasive vascular procedure maybe performed after a comprehensive questionnaire is completed. These procedures require no hospital stay, can be completed the same day, no scarring, and patients can go back to work the next day.  

1. Venoplasty and Stenting Venoplasty and stenting is the second option of treatment for patients suffering from May-Thurner Syndrome. Venoplasty and stenting are considered a minimally invasive procedure, which requires a stent to be placed in the compressed iliac vein. Using Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), the physician leads a catheter through the vein in the leg and into the pelvic region, which allows for exact measurements.

2. Embolization Therapy is usually recommended for patients with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS). Women with PCS experience pelvic pain that can last up to six months and gets worse throughout the day. Embolization Therapy involves injecting a sclerosing agent into the vein. The sclerosing injection will allow blood flow to begin again. Another method using injections does the opposite. It will be strategically placed to block blood flow completely and in effect creating a rerouted healthy flow of blood.

3. Bypass Surgery may be recommended in advanced cases. Bypass surgery is only recommended to restore proper blood flow. Visit the Center for Vascular Medicine to relieve chronic pain and find the solution you need. Come in for a consultation and meet our doctors to discuss the best possible treatment plan for you.
