Summary

Pelvic vein embolization (PVE) is the current treatment procedure used to treat women with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS). This treatment is not widely available, and many women when diagnosed with PCS cannot afford treatment.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether compression therapy is an effective alternative treatment to PVE for women who are unwilling or unable to undergo treatment by PVE. Compression therapy would provide a cost-effective alternative to coil embolization.

Conditions

  • Pelvic Congestive Syndrome

Interventions

DEVICE

Compression pants

Similar to compression stockings for the legs which are designed to apply pressure to improve venous return in the legs, compression pants have been designed to apply pressure to pelvic veins to improve the symptoms of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome.

DEVICE

Embolization coils

Embolization coils are used to block the veins they are positioned in. This is a standard treatment offered to patients at The Whiteley Clinic.
