Hi
I was diagnosed in October 2014 to having Pelvic Congestion, I started a new medication to see if that assisted with the pain and discomfort, it hasn't ! The hospital said that they would see how I responded to the treatment, and if I didn't respond well enough or at all then they would have to go down the surgery route. This hasn't been discussed yet and know they will say about the surgery option when I am seeing the Gynae next week.
Please could someone advice on what type of surgery is available.
I just want the pain gone.
Hi, I've been Googling this recently because although I haven't been diagnosed, I am wondering if this is what I have. I think they do something to the offending veins which render them useless. I don't think the procedure needs you to be cut open. I think this is done via a guided needle. But what I have said is only what I understand it to be, I could be totally wrong. Do you mind me asking what are your symptoms? I have such horrible discomfort in my groins, lower buttocks and right across my abdomen just about an inch above my pubic bone. When I rest it eases but as soon as I'm active again, back in comes with such lower back discomfort. Were you diagnosed by having a scan? I hope you can soon find some relief from the pain you are experiencing.
