Professor Mark Possover shares groundbreaking insights on neuropelviology, the revolutionary field addressing chronic pelvic pain that bridges gynecology, neurology, and minimally invasive surgery. His work offers hope to patients who’ve been told to simply “live with” their pain, targeting the pelvic nerves directly when the source of pain is elusive or deemed untreatable.
• The vagus nerve does not extend into the pelvic cavity, ending at the level of the colon and stomach
• Damage to nerves in the pelvis involves the pelvic splanchnic nerve system, not the vagus nerve
• Patients with autoimmune diseases often develop pathology of the pelvic vessels that can compress pelvic nerves
• Conditions like Ehlers-Danlos, Raynaud’s, Marfanoid syndrome and Hashimoto’s show connections to pelvic nerve issues
• Endometriosis demonstrates strong links to other autoimmune diseases and conditions like diabetes

Today's
guest
has
built
his
career
on
a
bold
but
vital
belief
that
suffering
pain
should
not
be
a
life
sentence
.
And
for
Professor
Mark
Possover
,
that
belief
isn't
just
a
philosophy
,
it's
a
mission
.
As
a
world-renowned
pioneer
in
neuropelviology
yes
,
you
heard
that
right
he
has
transformed
how
we
understand
and
treat
chronic
pelvic
pain
,
especially
when
the
source
is
elusive
or
deemed
untreatable
.
His
work
bridges
the
worlds
of
gynecology
,
neurology
and
minimally
invasive
surgery
to
target
the
pelvic
nerve
directly
,
often
bringing
relief
to
patients
who've
been
told
to
simply
live
with
it
.
His
methods
have
given
hope
to
countless
people
who
have
felt
like
they've
run
out
of
options
.
Please
help
me
in
welcoming
Professor
Marc
Possebert
.
How
does
trauma
,
whether
it's
big
,
small
,
how
does
it
affect
the
vagus
nerve
and
does
it
have
the
ability
to
heal
,
like
trauma
to
the
nerve
?
Speaker 2
1:36
The
trauma
to
the
vagus
nerve
within
the
pelvic
cavity
will
never
occur
because
the
vagus
nerve
is
not
located
in
the
pelvic
cavity
.
It's
ended
at
the
level
of
the
colon
and
of
the
stomach
.
So
you
can
have
a
lesion
of
the
vagus
nerve
,
especially
on
the
right
side
after
surgery
in
the
upper
abdomen
or
at
the
level
of
the
esophagus
In
the
pelvis
.
You
can
have
damage
from
the
second
parasympathetic
nerve
system
.
It's
what
we
call
the
pelvic
sphagnum
nerve
,
but
not
the
vagus
nerve
.
Speaker 1
2:12
Okay
,
how
does
neuropelviology
tie
into
autoimmune
response
or
fatigue
as
we
?
Speaker 2
2:19
know
,
endometriosis
and
autoimmune
disease
directly
have
nothing
in
common
.
Osteoporosis
and
autoimmune
disease
directly
have
nothing
in
common
.
But
patients
with
autoimmune
disease
not
just
Ehlers-Danlos
syndrome
,
but
also
Raynaud
syndrome
,
marfanoid
syndrome
,
thyroid
disease
,
hashimoto
,
and
all
this
situation
obviously
,
according
to
our
recent
research
,
all
these
patients
with
autoimmune
disease
have
pathology
of
the
pelvic
vessels
and
men
develop
maybe
at
some
point
in
their
life
a
compression
of
the
pelvic
nerve
and
that
is
what
we
call
neuropathic
pelvic
pain
.
But
we
know
also
that
endometriosis
is
strongly
linked
to
other
autoimmune
diseases
as
well
and
to
diabetes
,
for
example
.
