Pelvic Congestive Syndrome is a chronic condition that occurs in women when varicose veins form within the pelvic region. Varicose veins are veins that become swollen, twisted, and elongated as a result of faulty vein valves. Normally, the valves in your veins work in “one way” direction as blood flows toward your heart. When these valves are damaged or don’t work well, blood can also flow backward. This blood pooling may lead to pain in the pelvic region.
