September 13, 2016. Dallas, TX. Majid and Van Meter Interventional Radiologists publish a new article that discusses one of the most prevalent but at the same time one of the most undiagnosed and untreated conditions that affect women.

According to these noted interventional oncology specialists in Dallas, a third of all women develop varicies (swollen blood vessels similar to varicose veins) in their ovarian veins or in other pelvic areas. The resulting condition is called pelvic congestion syndrome, or PCS, and can result in chronic pelvic pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. The varicies that cause PCS are not visible during external examinations, and are often missed even during internal pelvic examinations because the patient is lying down, and the varicies don't swell as they do when they're standing.

Fortunately, pelvic congestion syndrome can be treated with non-surgical, minimally-invasive pelvic pain treatment options in Dallas to embolize (block) the blood vessels that feed these swollen veins. To find out more about this condition, and the procedure that eliminates it, read this latest article or the other articles on the subject provided by some of the best interventional radiology doctors in Dallas on their website at http://www.mtvir.com/.

Treatment Options

Similar to radiologists, MTV IR helps to diagnose cancers and other disorders. As Dallas' interventional oncology specialists, the practice focuses on high-end, minimally-invasive procedures used to treat different types of cancer. These procedures include radiofrequency ablation, chemoembolization or radioembolization of tumors, portal vein embolization, and treatment of bony metastases.

In addition, because the management of pain is a big part of oncology treatment, MTV IR also serves as a top pain management center in Dallas/Fort Worth, specializing in epidural steroid injections and facet injections, selective nerve root blocks, kyphoplasty, and rhizotomy. The center also devotes a part of its practice to the treatment of problematic women's health issues, such as uterine fibroids, infertility, and treatment of pelvic pain secondary to pelvic congestion syndrome.
