Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Treatment

Until recently, there were some difficulties in diagnosing pelvic congestion syndrome due to unknown reasons. Therefore,  the syndrome could not be treated efficiently. Besides, various methods were developed to treat the syndrome thanks to detecting a connection between chronic pelvic pain and varicose veins of the ovary and pelvic region. 

The following section lists the currently used methods to treat people with pelvic congestion syndrome:

• Cutting or tying ovarian veins,
• Pelvic embolization with the aid of a catheter (transcatheter embolization, pelvic vein embolization),
• Removal of the uterus alone or together with the ovaries,
• Medical treatment:
  
  • Psychotherapy,
  • Hormone-like drugs:
    
    • Progestin,
    • Danazol,
    • Gonadotropin receptor agonists (GnRH) and hormone replacement therapy,
    • Dihydroergotamine
    • Non-steroidal pain relievers.
