At Pinnacle Vein & Vascular Center, our team of vascular specialists is proficient in diagnosing and managing PCS, offering personalized treatments to improve pelvic health and enhance quality of life.

Understanding Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS)

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is a condition caused by varicose veins in the pelvic region, leading to chronic pelvic pain. This condition often occurs due to weakened or malfunctioning valves in the veins, resulting in poor blood flow and pooling in the pelvis. Recognizing the signs and risk factors associated with PCS is crucial for effective management and symptom relief.

Recognizing Symptoms

Symptoms of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome may include:

• Chronic pelvic pain that worsens after prolonged standing or sitting
• Dull, aching pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis
• Pain during or after intercourse
• Visible varicose veins around the buttocks, thighs, or genital area
• Swelling or bloating in the pelvic region

Specialized Treatment Approaches

Our comprehensive treatments for PCS may include:

• Embolization: A minimally invasive procedure in which a catheter is used to insert small coils or a sclerosant into the affected veins, blocking blood flow to relieve pressure and pain.
• Medications: Prescription medications to alleviate pain and improve vein function, such as anti-inflammatory drugs or venotonics.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Recommendations for weight management, regular exercise, and avoiding prolonged standing or sitting to reduce pelvic vein pressure.
