“…15 Two randomized clinical trials suggest that medical treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists or synthetic progestins effectively decrease pain associated with pelvic congestion: 16 Other treatments for pelvic congestion syndrome which have not been subjected to randomized clinical trials include the following: • Hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy 17 • Embolization of the ovarian veins with or without the internal iliac veins 18 • Sclerotherapy 19 • Surgical ligation of the ovarian veins. 20 Efficacy of these treatments is supported only by observational data and case reports.…”

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is not a disease but a complex multidimensional syndrome. Although any one disorder may be the cause of CPP, pain can also be the end result of several medical conditions, with each contributing to the generation of pain and requiring management.Women with chronic pelvic pain are often disappointed with the quality of their medical consultations and want their clinician, a personalized care, empathetic and take their symptoms seriously, provide an explanation as to the cause of their pain syndrome and be reassuring. Gastrointestinal, urological, gynecological, psychological, and musculoskeletal sources should be considered in evaluating women with chronic pelvic pain. A complete history, physical examination and counseling can take 45 to 90 minutes to women with CPP. Laboratory testing is of limited value in evaluating women with CPP and, however, pelvic ultrasound is highly sensitive for identifying pelvic masses and determining the origin of the mass. Diagnostic laparoscopy is recommended, if GI, GU and myofascial and neuropathic causes are ruled out or treated and the results of the psychological evaluation are negative. However in 30% of the cases, no cause is ever determined and it presents a therapeutic challenge to the clinician.Success in treating women with chronic pelvic pain is greatly facilitated by earning their trust and confidence. To decide on the best therapeutic plan for an individual patient, the physician and patient should have a thorough discussion of her preferences and values regarding testing, medical versus surgical treatment and childbearing plans. For many patients, the optimal approach involves a combination of treatments.

“…She subsequently became pregnant, experiencing an uneventful antenatal period and delivering vaginally without complications. Six months post-delivery, she remained pain-free [16]. Dos Santos et al published data on eight patients who had previously undergone pelvic vein embolization for pelvic venous reflux before and after pregnancy.…”

Pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) is characterized by chronic pelvic pain for at least 6 months as a result of varices or the insufficiency of pelvic veins. It usually manifests as chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea and varicosities of atypical localizations. One of the most important issue in this field pertains to the impact of PeVD on female reproductive function, particularly its influence on pregnancy and the significance of timely treatment in this regard. The analysis of the studies presented in current review, despite rather scarce data, indicates that the presence of pelvic venous disorders affects the reproductive activity of women. However, due to the weak evidence, future investigations are extremely needed.
