Super appreciate this Spotlight!! Dr. Chan is my vascular surgeon and I am getting stented for May Thurner in just a few days. Hoping to be one of the lucky patients whose POTS improves drastically. This could be a new frontier of POTS treatment for those of us with hypermobility.

I don’t have any pain during sex, but I do have POTS and weeks-long bouts of persistent pelvic congestion with arousal. I have Non Length Dependent SFN, Cauda Equina Syndrome with Anachroiditis, and POTS.

You should definitely try to find a interventional radiologist who can do a diagnostic venogram to see if you have compression

I have undifferentiated dysautonomia and was just diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome. I know this was posted almost a year ago but if they still need patients i would love to be put in touch!

I wanted to know if pelvic congestion syndrome can cause an ovarian vein thrombosis which that's what they found first with me then they discovered I had pelvic congestion syndrome later on, which I was reading it can affect the ovarian vein.

Can men have something similar?

[@sarahe386]

Yes. Men can have MTS and varicose veins of the testicles
