On today’s episode of @bendy_bodies, Dr. Alexis Cutchins joins us for a clear, compassionate look at pelvic venous embolization and what patients may experience after the procedure.
Dr. Cutchins explains that improvements can span widely: pelvic pain and leg pain often resolve (unless significant lower-extremity venous insufficiency is present), pain with intercourse decreases, orgasm and sexual health can improve, and many patients report better POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) symptoms, increased exercise tolerance, reduced fatigue, clearer thinking, and fewer migraines.
Who tends to benefit most?
Patients who are already moving forward in other areas of their care — treating their mast cell activation syndrome, minimizing triggers, and incorporating even small amounts of movement into their routines. Those who are struggling or in a lull with treatment may not notice changes immediately.
This conversation is an important reminder: pelvic venous embolization can be a meaningful tool, and its impact is strongest when integrated into a broader plan of steady, supportive care.
