What is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?
It is estimated that more than a third of all women will experience chronic pelvic pain during their lifetime. Chronic pelvic pain is defined as pain lasting greater than six months.
Chronic pelvic pain caused by reflux or obstruction of the gonadal, gluteal, or periuterine veins is called pelvic congestion syndrome. Incompetent venous valves in the ovarian veins can lead to reflux and development of pelvic varices.These dilated veins may sometimes be seen with ultrasound, CT, or MRI. These enlarged and abnormal veins are more common on the left, more likely in women who have had multiple pregnancies, and very similar in cause to lower extremity varicose veins.
How common is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?
It is estimated that approximately 30 percent of patients with chronic pelvic pain suffer from pelvic congestion syndrome as the sole cause and an additional 15 percent have pelvic congestion syndrome with at least one additional cause of pelvic pain.
How is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome treated?
Chronic pelvic pain due to ovarian and pelvic varices (varicose veins) is treated using nonsurgical, minimally invasive, transcatheter techniques. The procedure is performed under conscious sedation and the patient is usually awake. General anesthesia is not required. The procedure usually takes less than one hour.
