If any of these symptoms sound familiar, the next step is a proper consult.
Pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort that just won’t go away? Let’s talk about one often-overlooked cause: Pelvic Venous Congestion.
Pelvic Venous Congestion (also called pelvic congestion syndrome) occurs when veins in the pelvis become enlarged and aren’t circulating blood efficiently. Over time, this can lead to symptoms like:
• A dull or aching pelvic pain
• Heaviness or pressure in the lower abdomen
• Pain that worsens after standing or sitting for long periods
• Discomfort during or after intimacy
• Lower back pain or fullness in the pelvic area
• Visible varicose veins in the pelvic or upper thigh region
For many patients, these symptoms are frustrating because they’re vague, inconsistent, and often misattributed to something else.
While we can’t diagnose through social media, what we can tell you is this: persistent pelvic symptoms deserve a real medical evaluation.
At Buckner Vein & Aesthetics, Dr. Buckner takes a full-picture approach by reviewing your medical history, symptoms, and imaging (if needed) to determine whether venous disease could be playing a role. For patients who are candidates, treatments like gonadal vein embolization offer a minimally invasive option designed to improve blood flow and relieve pressure in the pelvic veins.
