What is multiple pelvic phleboliths and treatment?

Pelvic Phleboliths: Pelvic phleboliths are small cacifications in the veins in the pelvic area. They are almost always benign and not caused by a serious medical condition. They generally do not require any treatment unless they become bothersome.

Calcified Vein: Phleboliths are calcified portions of vein (phlebo=vein, lith=stone). They are very common in veins in the pelvis, but not often seen elsewhere in the body. They are typically discovered as an incidental finding on an x-ray or ct scan. They are harmless and don't require any treatment.
