Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is a circulation condition that affects pelvic veins and may cause chronic pelvic discomfort or pressure.
Symptoms may include pelvic heaviness, aching discomfort, pressure sensation, worsening symptoms throughout the day, discomfort when standing, leg heaviness, and visible veins.
Factors associated with PCS include pregnancy history, hormonal influences, family history of venous disease, varicose veins, and chronic venous insufficiency.
Vascular specialists use imaging technology such as ultrasound and venography to evaluate blood flow within veins.
Minimally invasive treatments focus on improving blood flow and reducing pressure within affected veins.
Vascular Institute of Chattanooga provides specialized evaluation and treatment options for women’s venous conditions. Appointments are often available quickly and self-referrals are welcome.
