A member asked:

Are pelvic phleboliths on x ray a cause for concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pelvic phleboliths are deposits of calcium that can occur in the veins. The phleboliths themselves are not a cause for concern and rarely cause any pain or problems. These may hint at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease as calcific plaques in the arteries can lead to heart attack and stroke. I would recommend seeing your doctor for a cardiac risk assessment and treatment if needed.
