Pelvic congestion syndrome is an ongoing condition that affects the pelvic area or the lower part of your belly. Experts think it’s caused by problems with veins in that part of the body. Pelvic congestion syndrome can be quite painful, lasting 6 months or more. It’s not connected to your period and can be hard to diagnose.
Causes
Researchers are still learning. But some think hormonal and physical changes during pregnancy may trigger the buildup of pressure in veins around the ovaries. Estrogen, a reproductive hormone that women make more of during pregnancy, can weaken the veins in the area and cause them to widen.
Symptoms
The pain can last for several months and affect your day-to-day life. It’s usually only on one side. Symptoms include:
Who’s at Risk?
It mostly happens to women of childbearing age between 20 and 45. It’s more common if you have more than one child.
Diagnosis
Many things can trigger pelvic pain, which can make it hard for your doctor to know if it’s pelvic congestion syndrome or something else. If you have severe pelvic pain, your doctor will run several tests to rule out certain causes before they can confirm PCS.
