Pelvic congestion syndrome, also known as pelvic vein incompetence, is a long-term condition believed to be due to enlarged veins in the lower abdomen.[1][3] The condition may cause chronic pain, such as a constant dull ache, which can be worsened by standing or sex.[1] Pain in the legs or lower back may also occur.[1]
While the condition is believed to be due to blood flowing back into pelvic veins as a result of faulty valves in the veins, this hypothesis is not certain.[3] The condition may occur or worsen during pregnancy.[1] The presence of estrogen is believed to be involved in the mechanism.[1] Diagnosis may be supported by ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, or laparoscopy.[1]
Early treatment options include medroxyprogesterone or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).[1] Surgery to block the varicose veins may also be done.[1] About 30% of women of reproductive age are affected.[2] It is believed to be the cause of about a third of chronic pelvic pain cases.[4] While pelvic venous insufficiency was identified in the 1850s it was only linked with pelvic pain in the 1940s.[4]
