How bad is pelvic congestion syndrome?

Pelvic congestion: This is a little thought of syndrome that bothers women, typically after having a child. Usually it includes pelvic discomfort in behind the labia majora or deeper after your cycle. It can range from mild to moderately severe.

PAIN?: It can cause a lot of pain at times, sometimes not too much.

Depends on severity: Women with pelvic congestion syndrome tend to experience chronic pain in the pelvis & lower back. The pain is related to the presence of dilated varicose veins surrounding the uterus and ovaries. Treatment depends on severity of symptoms & may include catheter directed embolization to seal the pelvic varicosities & relieve the pressure being abnormally transmitted via these veins to pelvic organs.
