Management of chronic pelvic pain associated with varicose veins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are pelvic varicose veins?

Pelvic varicose veins are venous dilatations that form in the pelvic area, similar to how varicose veins form in the legs.

These varicose veins can cause significant chronic pelvic pain and other symptoms such as heaviness and pain during sexual intercourse or after long periods of standing.

What causes pelvic varicose veins?

Pelvic varicose veins are usually caused by insufficient valves in the pelvic veins, which causes blood to pool and the veins to dilate.

This is commonly seen in women due to previous pregnancies, which can increase pressure in the pelvic veins and hinder venous return.

How to reduce the swelling of pelvic veins?

To deflate pelvic veins, treatments may include anti-inflammatory medications and hormonal therapies to reduce venous congestion.

In addition, techniques such as sclerotherapy or embolization can be used to help close the affected veins and reduce the associated inflammation and pain.

What causes pelvic congestion?

Pelvic congestion is caused by inadequate blood flow resulting in the accumulation of blood in the pelvic veins, causing their dilation and consequent pain.

Risk factors include multiple pregnancies, prolonged standing, and certain hormonal conditions.
