What is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?

Pelvic congestion syndrome is a condition that occurs when women begin to experience varicose veins in their lower abdomen and pelvis. Pelvic congestion syndrome may also be referred to as pelvic varicose veins, as these veins stop functioning properly and blood starts to pool in them. This condition can cause great discomfort with constant pain or pressure in the pelvic region.

What Causes Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?

Pelvic congestion syndrome and pelvic varicose veins are caused by veins not functioning properly and blood pooling in the pelvis. This pooling can cause the veins to become swollen and irritated resulting in chronic pain. While the exact cause of this condition is still not yet known, most specialists attribute pelvic congestion syndrome to alterations in the pelvic structure during pregnancy and after having given birth. These changes to the system may exacerbate vein disease and cause pelvic congestion syndrome, chronic pelvic pain, and pelvic varicose veins to occur.
