What is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is a condition in which the veins in the pelvis become very dilated (widened). It is unclear why it happens, but there is excessive pooling of blood inside these veins. It is commonly associated with varicose veins in the vulva or lower extremities.
The diagnosis of pelvic congestions syndrome can be complex because chronic pelvic pain can be caused by multiple pelvic structures including the uterus, ovaries, pelvic floor muscles, bladder, and bowel.
Symptoms of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome
Dull ache or heaviness in the lower abdomen or back starting before menses begin.
Pain can also occur or worsen with prolonged standing or activity.
A variety of treatments have been described, ranging from medical or hormonal treatment to surgery, however, there is not enough research to recommend one treatment as most effective.
