What is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is a condition where the ovarian vein that carries blood back up to the heart malfunctions, allowing blood to pool down into the veins in the pelvic area.
When blood accumulates in the pelvic veins, it puts pressure on the vein walls causing them to enlarge in the pelvis.
These enlarged veins in the pelvic area continue to accumulate blood and can eventually cause chronic and debilitating pelvic pain, as well as other symptoms.

How Is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Diagnosed?
NATIONALLY ACCREDITED VASCULAR LABORATORY
At The Vein and Vascular Institute’s state-of-the-art Nationally Accredited Vascular Laboratory several diagnostic imaging techniques are used to diagnose Pelvic Congestion Syndrome.
Diagnostic imaging such as doppler ultrasound to check the blood flow in the pelvic blood vessels, CT scans and MRI’s for more detailed imaging, diagnostic laparoscopy to rule out other causes of pelvic pain, and venography (X-Rays) of the pelvic veins are used to most accurately diagnose Pelvic Congestion Syndrome.

Through a small puncture, our vascular surgeons can access the malfunctioning ovarian vein which is causing pooling of the blood in the pelvic area. Through this tiny puncture a thin platinum wire is inserted into the diseased vein to essentially shut off blood flow through the vein.
By shutting off blood flow in the malfunctioning vein, blood can no longer backflow down into the pelvic area and accumulate. The veins in the pelvic area will no longer experience blood pooling and pressure thereby relieving the feeling of pain and pressure in the pelvic area.
The board certified vascular surgeons here at The Vein and Vascular Institute use the most advanced and minimally invasive methods to treat Pelvic Congestion Syndrome right at our vascular facilities’ outpatient endovascular surgery suites. The procedure is performed under sedation and local anesthesia and takes less than one hour to perform, allowing patients to go home the same day of surgery.
Women who have undergone this procedure known as vein embolization, have reported that their pain was relieved as soon as 24 hours after having the procedure.
