Pelvic Venous Congestion

When pelvic vein reflux is the direct cause of your pelvic venous congestion, our vascular specialists and vein doctors will discuss both medical and minimally-invasive treatment options:

• NSAIDs: Treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may help relieve the patient’s pain for the short term. Analgesia is a good first-line option
• Hormonal treatments
• Pelvic ovarian vein embolization: This is a minimally-invasive treatment that is safe and can be done as a day-case. You come in for the procedure in the morning and can leave a few hours later the same day.

In most cases, it is the ovarian vein that is the cause of the varicose veins. However, other pelvic veins such as veins such as internal iliac veins, internal pudendal veins, obturator veins and ischial veins may also be responsible and will need treatment as well.
