Varicose veins of the pelvis or the syndrome of chronic pelvic pain is, to date, of the exotic disease with a clear diagnosis of the borders for many doctors.
This explains the fact that some doctors for a long time "does not notice" this evil of the to their patients, while others make the diagnosis in almost one of every two people who suffers from constant, unexplained pains in the lower part of the abdomen.
Meanwhile, the early detection of varices of the veins of the pelvis depends largely on the patient's quality of life, your ability to enjoy an intimate part of your relationship with your partner and the ability to continue.
The phenomenon of chronic pelvic pain is known by doctors for a long time. But only recently has been known more likely your cause – varicose veins of the pelvis. This disease is the first time described in 1975 and until now well-studied.
What is more likely is that this condition develops according to the following algorithm:
- Another venous plexus in the pelvis is a complex of education, which includes the large trunks, vascular, and away from them, smaller of vienna. When you do this, the venous system of the pelvis in men and women is different according to their structure, which affects the sexual activity and the specification of the disease is much more common is the weaker sex.
- Due to the crushing of the vessels, total or partial venous obstruction of the beds, the changes in the vascular tone of the wall is broken, the reflux of the blood from the deep veins of the pelvis.
- As a result of vienna can no longer perform its functions in its entirety: progresses the failure of the venous valves and disrupts the normal flow of the blood.
- In the veins of the pelvis begin stagnant phenomena related to the inverse of zabrosom of the blood through the vessels – this causes expansion of the veins and development of varicose veins.
The symptoms of varicose vein surgery (varicose veins) of the veins of the internal organs of the pelvis significantly more frequent in women of reproductive age of men. Most of the times suffer from ovarian vienna – in 85% of cases.
The main symptom is the pain that is recorded more than 90% of patients. And here is the prevalence of this disease among the population is not yet clear: in several studies consists of 6 to 80%.
