For pelvic congestion syndrome. Women with
chronic pelvic pain of unknown origin may have pelvic congestion syndrome
due to varicosities of the ovarian veins. These women may have increasing
pain with standing late in the day, post coital pain or vulvar varicosities.
This can only be reliably diagnosed with venography, and can be treated
percutaneously similar to male varicocele occlusion. Frequently these
patients and their physicians are quite frustrated in the unsuccessful
pursuit of the cause for chronic pelvic pain.
