What is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?
Pelvic congestion syndrome is typically a vein condition that causes chronic pelvic pain. This syndrome is also known as pelvic vein incompetence and is a chronic medical condition in women caused by varicose veins in the lower abdomen.
Suffering from this condition could potentially lead to significant disability. Almost 1/3 of women may experience pain or issues from chronic pelvic pain at some point in their life. This “chronic” pain usually lingers from more than 6 months and has nothing to do with menstrual cycles.
This condition causes long-lasting chronic pain, often manifesting as a constant ache, which can be aggravated by standing. If you feel like you may have Pelvic Congestion Syndrome call 1.888.553.VEIN(8346) to discuss your options.
