New York, NY - Appearing on the Dr. Steve Show in New York, Dr. David Greuner discusses chronic pelvic pain caused by pelvic venous insufficiency, or pelvic vein incompetence.

Dr. Greuner says pelvic vein embolization is an effective treatment for women with pelvic vein incompetence. "The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, using x-ray guidance. It's an incision-less procedure in which a catheter is threaded through the groin or thigh into the veins around the ovaries that are not working correctly," he says. In the Dr. Steve segment, Dr. Greuner shows a new animation on pelvic vein embolization and describes how the procedure is done.
