Finding The Right Treatment For Pelvic Congestion
Pelvic Congestion is reported in 30% of women that often complain about pain in their lower abdomen. It is a fairly common condition and is known as pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS). This condition is associated with varicose veins leading to heavy pain and pressure. The cause for varicose veins is unknown, complicating treatments for the veins and for conditions related to it, such as pelvic congestion. The veins develop due to abnormal flowing. When they function normally, the blood flows in only one direction and does not flow backwards. It is when the valves are defective or injured, forcing the blood to start flowing backwards and engorging the veins in the pelvis. This is often what causes much of the pain, as the varicosities stimulate the nerves.
