Pelvic congestion treatment options

Pelvic congestion treatment

Currently, pelvic congestion is treated by putting metal coils or metal plugs into the pelvic veins to block them. There is a new device that can do the same job but leave no metal or other substance inside the pelvic veins. we want to know if patients or potential patients would prefer this - and if it would change their minds about treatment.

Thank you for your time.
