Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Management 

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is a condition causing chronic pain in the pelvic area due to poor blood flow in the pelvic veins. When it comes to managing Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, Revere Health focuses on working to improve blood flow in the pelvic area and relieving related symptoms. There are several treatment options for Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, with the most common being lifestyle changes and prescriptions.

Symptoms of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome

The primary symptom of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is chronic pain in the pelvic area. This pain can worsen due to factors such as menstruation, sexual intercourse, or heavy lifting. In some cases, pain has also been felt up into the lower back and buttocks. Other symptoms can include visible varicose veins and frequent urination.

How is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Diagnosed?

Doctors can diagnose Pelvic Congestion Syndrome after conducting physical examinations or by looking at recent medical history. If it is suspected, imaging tests such as ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRIs can confirm Pelvic Congestion Syndrome.

Treatment Options for Pelvic Congestion Syndrome

Symptoms can often be relieved by lifestyle changes. Exercising regularly, avoiding sitting for long periods of time, and wearing compression socks can alleviate pressure off the pelvic area and reduce chronic pain. Other treatment options include hormonal therapy, embolization (blocking the affected veins), and in some cases, surgery.
