Pelvic congestion syndrome

چکیده
Background: The precise aetiology of pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) remains poorly understood but is believed to be multifactorial having mechanical, hormonal and psychological components. Materials and methods: Minimally invasive techniques of embolisation or sclerotherapy of the ovarian veins has become the mainstay of treatment for PCS. Studies report a technical success rates from 89-100% and clinical success rates of 58-100%. Conclusions: Embolisation and sclerotherapy can be done as a day surgery procedure concurrently with diagnostic venography and given current evidence provide better long term pain relief than medical therapy.
