Pelvic or lower ab,,: Pelvic or lower abdominal pain. Or no sx at all. The varices, if associated with phlebitis are usually symptomatic, but stretched varicied veins can be symptomatc. Because they are deep, surgery is not very beneficial. The veins can be ablated with veinous cathers, but this is costly. If you have these, do not were tight garments; diminish constipation symptoms, and lose abdominal weight!

Most women will : Present with a noncyclical pain lasting more than 6 months in duration. This pain may be worsened by the following: sitting, standing, at the end of the day, during or after intercourse (dyspareunia), or just before the onset of menses. Other symptoms of pelvic congestion are nonspecific and variable in intensity. Affected women may have generalized lethargy, depression, abdominal or pelvic discom.

Pelvic congestion: Drs. Namey and shen have answered the question very nicely. Symptomatic pelvic varicosis generally only happens in women who have had more than one child. The other symptom that is common is a sensation of constant bladder fullness and a need to urinate even when your bladder is empty. The hallmarks of the problem, though, are pain with and after intercourse and pain just before your period.

The best way: To attack symptomatic pelvic varicose veins is to be referred to an interventional radiologist who will identify the source of reversed flow and will use coils or foam to close the source. The remaining (?) visible varicosities on the inner thigh or buttock are can be easily closed by foamed sclerotherapy.
