What are Pelvic Varicose Veins?
Pelvic varicose veins are the appearance of blue or red bulging veins around the pelvic region. Typically found in females who lead a sedentary lifestyle, these varicose veins can cause a great deal of discomfort in our patients. Sometimes referred to as pelvic congestion syndrome, pelvic varicose veins are generally associated with a variety of other female reproductive complications including ovarian changes, a thicker uterus, abnormal discharge, and abdominal bloating. If you're experiencing pelvic varicose veins with any other feminine conditions, we encourage you to come in and see one of our vein specialists in a private consultation at your earliest convenience.

How Much do Varicose Vein Treatments Cost?

What Causes Pelvic Varicose Veins?
Pelvic varicose veins occur in the same way that other varicose veins occur. The veins in our bodies typically work in a one-way blood flow system in which the valves in the veins prevent a backflow of blood. When these valves age or become damaged, they start allowing blood to pool in the veins and cause them to swell. Patients who experience pelvic varicose veins are mostly females who lead a sedentary lifestyle and are 50 years or older.
