Varies on severity: There is not really any "typical" therapy for pelvic congestion syndrome. Occasionally diuretics, anti-inflammatories can help. Use of ovarian vein coil placement or embolization by a radiologist can help. Some women improve with hysterectomy but we dont usually recommend that as a first line of treatment.

Depends: That depends on how the diagnosis has been made. Chronic pelvic pain can have many causes. If the patient has a confident diagnosis of ovarian vein insufficiency the best treatment currently available is embolization. This is performed by an interventional radiologist, and a consultation with an ir who is experienced with this disease would be helpful.
