Pelvic Congestion Syndrome

Abdominal pain in woman with stomachache illness from menstruation cramps

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is a condition that affects mainly women and occurs when the veins in the pelvic area become enlarged and engorged with blood. This condition may cause the development of varicose veins in the pelvis, which can lead to chronic pain and discomfort. The symptoms of PCS can vary from person to person, but typically include pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, painful intercourse, and lower back pain. PCS can be diagnosed through a combination of physical examination, ultrasound, and other imaging studies. Treatment options for PCS include medication, lifestyle changes, and minimally invasive procedures like embolization, which can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall quality of life. If you are experiencing symptoms of pelvic pain or discomfort, it’s important to talk to our experienced team of Doctors to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment plan.
