Do I Have Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?

Women face many complex health issues that require specialized attention. One of many women’s most prominent health concerns is maintaining healthy ovaries, which is not always easy to do. Ovarian health concerns can often be surprising and can lead to many debilitating symptoms. Pelvic congestion syndrome affects millions of women annually, making it necessary to receive interventive care before the condition progresses.

Here are a few things to look for regarding Pelvic Congestion Syndrome and how our office can help give you the relief you need.

How Does Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Occur?

Experts debate the exact cause of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. However, many medical experts believe it results from varicose veins forming in the ovaries. When this happens, it can compromise the function of valves in ovarian veins, causing blood to back up inside the veins. Because of restricted blood flow, pressure builds inside the ovarian veins, causing painful congestion.

Also, there are additional factors that can increase the risk of developing Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, some of which can include:

• Multiple pregnancies
• Hormonal Issues
• A retroverted Uterus
• Family History

Can Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Be Prevented?

It’s not always easy to avoid Pelvic Congestion Syndrome; many symptoms present themselves without warning. However, some professionals believe that taking some actions can help lessen the chances of developing the condition. Some believe that maintaining a healthy weight during pregnancy and wearing compression clothing during and after pregnancy can help.
