Peripheral Neuropathy, Cyclic Sciatica & Other Conditions: Dr. Nicholas Fogelson on UTI, Part 4

Dr. Fogelson also discussed with Live UTI Free other causes of pelvic pain and bladder issues, including pelvic congestion syndrome. This is when varicose veins develop in the ovaries or gonads. Varicose veins occur when the valves responsible for pushing the blood against gravity back to the heart do not function correctly. As a result, blood pools and the veins stretch, leading to a dull, aching sensation. Treatment for pelvic congestion syndrome can include shutting off the problematic vein via embolization, a hysterectomy and possibly an oophorectomy to decrease pelvic blood flow, or medicating with progesterone to reduce the uterus lining. A similar condition is May-Thurner syndrome wherein the right iliac artery compresses the left iliac vein. This affects how the blood drains on the left side of the pelvis and can likewise result in pain and discomfort. Treatment involves inserting a stent, although how such stents hold up long term remains unknown. In other cases, veins can wrap around and squeeze various nerves. For example, some people experience sciatica when menstruating due to compression of the sciatic nerve by the gluteal veins. This can be treated surgically. When it comes to “rewiring” neural pathways to reduce pain, Dr. Fogelson notes that this is not to be taken literally as we only have one set of nerves. That said, medications (beyond pain killers) can lessen the intensity of the pain signals registered by the brain. He also underscores the fact that while pain is physical, suffering is psychological. Working with a health psychologist can help to decrease subjective suffering. Additionally, Dr. Fogelson emphasizes that chronic UTI and bladder problems are still not very well understood by medical science. He cautions those experiencing these issues to be wary of doctors who claim to have the answers… and who sell them at a high price.
