Huge veins on one side only seen during lap?

[Mandy876]

Had anyone been told they have large veins after a lap? This was also seen on an MRI. Apparently some variation is normal but mine were huge on the left and Ive been referred to a vascular surgeon to see if there is a 'blockage' higher up causing an issue. I can't find much info about this. Had anyone had a similar experience?

Yes i had my lap 4 weeks ago and they didnt find endo but said i have pelvic congestion which is large veins in my pelvis thats giving me all my pain. I havent had my post op appointment or seen anyone since so i dont know the full extent of my problems or what theyre going to do but, from what ive researched they can block off the veins or something, as the large veins dont flow blood properly, its like the blood is going backwards and forwards instead of just cycling round x

Thanks for replying. Do you mind if I ask what type of pain you have? I ask as from what I read, I don’t have pin typical of pelvic congestion. Thanks

It’s like a deep ache in the right side of my groin and it affects my right leg too. Sometimes I get sharp shooting pains down my leg and standing for a while aggravates it too. Sometimes it just throbs though x
