Education #Pelvic Congestion Syndrome

This unique procedure is provided by a specialist called an Interventional Radiologist to alleviate a unique form of pelvic pain.

Pelvic congestion syndrome is a condition in which the veins in the pelvis become stretched, widened, and congested with blood, similar to varicose veins in the legs. It occurs when the valves that control blood flow to the heart leak, allowing the blood to flow backward and pool in the pelvic veins. The organs affected are the uterus, ovaries and vulva. This condition can be treated successfully with hysterectomy but could be treated with other minor surgical procedures without compromising your fertility.
