🩺 What is Pelvic Varices Embolization?

Many women in India suffer from chronic pelvic pain that is often misdiagnosed as endometriosis or “vague” gynecological issues.

  1.  In many cases, the root cause is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS).Much like varicose veins in the legs, the veins in the pelvis can become enlarged and “leaky.”

  2. When the valves in the pelvic and ovarian veins fail, blood pools in the pelvis, causing significant pain and pressure.
  3. Pelvic Varices Embolization is a highly successful, minimally invasive procedure that seals off these faulty veins, redirecting blood flow to healthy vessels and eliminating the source of pain at its root.

🎯 How It Works: Closing the "Leaky" Veins

The procedure is performed in our advanced Interventional Radiology suites in Hyderabad and Chennai:

  1. Precision Access: Through a tiny pinhole (usually in the neck or wrist), Dr. Ram navigates a micro-catheter to the pelvic veins using real-time imaging.
  2. Venography: A specialized dye is injected to “map” the pelvic veins and confirm exactly which vessels are dilated and causing the congestion.5
  3. Embolization: Small, soft medical coils or a specialized liquid sealing agent are placed into the diseased, enlarged veins.
  4. Instant Pressure Relief: Once the abnormal veins are closed, the blood is immediately rerouted to healthy, functioning veins. The “congested” pressure in the pelvis begins to subside.
  5. No Scars: The catheter is removed, and only a tiny adhesive bandage is required.

I spent three years seeing different specialists in Chennai for a ‘heavy’ pain in my pelvis. I was told it was all in my head or that I needed a hysterectomy. Dr. Ram diagnosed me with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome in one visit. The embolization procedure was so simple—I didn’t even need stitches. The relief was almost immediate. I finally have my life back.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions about Pelvic Varices Embolization

It is a minimally invasive treatment to fix Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS). Just as people get varicose veins in their legs, women can get swollen, painful veins around the uterus and ovaries. This procedure closes those faulty veins to stop blood from pooling and causing pain.

Yes. Your body has an extensive network of "backup" veins in the pelvis. By closing the ones that are malfunctioning, we are simply forcing the blood to travel through the healthy veins that are designed to handle the flow.

You might be a candidate if you have "unexplained" chronic pelvic pain that:

  • Feels like a heaviness or dull ache in the lower abdomen.

     

  • Gets worse after standing for long periods or at the end of the day.

     

  • Hurts during or after sexual intercourse.

     

  • Has not been fixed by other treatments (like painkillers or hormonal pills).

Most patients report little to no pain during the actual procedure. You are given local anesthesia to numb the skin and sedation to make you relaxed. You might feel some pressure or mild cramping when the doctor works inside the vein, but it is generally very well tolerated.

The treatment typically takes between 45 and 90 minutes. You will be relaxed under mild sedation and can usually go home 2-3 hours after the procedure is finished.

No. The uterus and ovaries have a very rich blood supply and are not dependent on the single faulty vein we close. Studies show that women can have successful pregnancies after this procedure. In fact, relieving the pain often improves quality of life significantly for those trying to conceive.

Diagnosis usually starts with a specialized Doppler Ultrasound or a Pelvic MRI. However, the "gold standard" is a Diagnostic Pelvic Venogram performed by an Interventional Radiologist like Dr. Ram to see the blood flow in real-time.11

Your menstrual cycle (timing) usually remains the same. However, many women find that their periods become less painful over time because the pelvic pressure and inflammation have been reduced.
