Many women suffer from a dull, pressing pain in the lower abdomen – often independent of the menstrual cycle, chronic and aggravated by prolonged sitting or standing. But too rarely is a serious cause considered: Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS), also known as ovarian varicosis or pelvic vein congestion.<\/span><\/p>\n One in three women could be affected by it in the course of her life – but hardly anyone knows the diagnosis. Today, there are modern, minimally invasive treatment methods such as endovascular coiling, which is offered at VenaZiel\u00ae.<\/span><\/p>\n Pelvic congestion syndrome is a chronic venous disease. It is caused by varicose veins in the pelvic veins, particularly in the ovarian veins (ovarian veins) or internal iliac veins. These dilated, overstretched veins lead to blood congestion, similar to varicose veins in the legs – only inside the body.<\/span><\/p>\n These pelvic varices exert pressure on surrounding organs, irritate nerves and lead to a number of unpleasant symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is estimated that every third woman of childbearing age is affected by pelvic varices – with or without symptoms. Despite this, PCS often remains unrecognized. Why?<\/span><\/p>\n PCS occurs particularly frequently with:<\/span><\/p>\n Typical symptoms: How Pelvic Congestion Syndrome manifests itself<\/b><\/p>\n Not every woman with ovarian varicosis has symptoms. But when symptoms occur, they can have a significant impact on life:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Diagnosis of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome: How PCS is recognized<\/b><\/p>\n As the symptoms are non-specific, targeted diagnosis is crucial. The following procedures are used:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The modern standard therapy today is endovascular coiling – a minimally invasive procedure that VenaZiel\u00ae offers for affected women.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n With coiling, the diseased veins are closed from the inside using a thin catheter, usually via the groin vein. Platinum coils or sclerosing agents are used to divert the blood flow and relieve the abnormally dilated vein.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n VenaZiel\u00ae offers affected women individualized care – from diagnostics to therapy and aftercare. The treatment takes place:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n No, it is not a life-threatening condition – but if left untreated it can have a significant impact on quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n Coiling therapy usually lasts 45-60 minutes and is carried out on an outpatient basis.<\/span><\/p>\n In many cases yes – if there is a medical indication. We will advise you individually on the costs.<\/span><\/p>\n In rare cases, recurrences can occur, especially if other pelvic veins are affected. Careful diagnostics prevent this.<\/span><\/p>\n Usually not – the coiling works mechanically and closes the vein permanently.<\/span><\/p>\n No, the treatment is usually carried out under local anesthesia or light sedation. Most patients only report a feeling of pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n It usually occurs before the menopause, but can also persist later – especially if the veins are already damaged.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pelvic congestion syndrome is common but curable. If you suffer from chronic abdominal pain that no one can explain, you deserve a thorough examination. VenaZiel\u00ae is at your side with interdisciplinary expertise – and offers a modern, effective and gentle treatment with the coiling procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Invisible pain in the pelvis – but not imaginary Many<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vein-center"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20738"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20738\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47395,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20738\/revisions\/47395"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS)?<\/b><\/h2>\n
