Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure for treating chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system, varicocele, or pelvic congestion syndrome. A catheter is guided through the blood vessels to the affected veins, and tiny particles or special substances are injected to close off the abnormal blood vessels. This reduces blood flow to the affected area, relieves pain, and decreases swelling. The procedure is gentle, performed under image guidance, and requires only a short recovery time.

During embolization, a catheter is guided through the blood vessels to the affected veins. Then, tiny particles or special substances are injected to close off the abnormal blood vessels and reduce blood flow.
Embolization is gentle, requires only small skin incisions, and has a short recovery time. It effectively relieves pain and swelling by stopping abnormal blood flow in the affected areas.
As with any medical procedure, there are risks, including possible bleeding, infection, or allergic reactions to the material used. These complications are rare, and your doctor will discuss the specific risks and benefits of the procedure with you.
The recovery time after embolization is usually short. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days, although the exact duration depends on the individual situation. Your doctor will give you specific aftercare instructions.
