Chronic Pelvic Pain Isn’t Normal — And It May Have a Name: PVI
If you’ve been silently suffering from chronic pelvic pain that worsens with standing, walking, or during intercourse, you’re not alone — and your pain may have a medical cause: Pelvic Venous Insufficiency (PVI), formerly known as Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS).
PVI occurs when veins in the pelvis become enlarged or dysfunctional, allowing blood to pool and create pressure, heaviness, and persistent discomfort. It’s most common in women of childbearing age, especially those who’ve had multiple pregnancies — but it can also affect women who’ve never been pregnant.
The good news? There’s a safe, non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that targets the root cause — not just the symptoms.
What Is Pelvic Venous Insufficiency Treatment?
At Ayur Interventional & Vascular Care, we treat PVI using Ovarian Vein Embolization or Internal Iliac Vein Embolization, depending on which veins are affected.
Using advanced imaging guidance, a tiny catheter is inserted (usually via the groin or neck) and navigated to the problematic pelvic veins. Medical-grade particles or coils are then used to seal off the veins, restoring healthy blood flow and relieving pressure.
It’s an outpatient procedure — no hospital stay, no large incisions, no general anesthesia.
Why Choose Vein Embolization for PVI?
✔️ Minimally Invasive. No surgery. No large incisions.
✔️ Quick Recovery. Return to daily activities within a few days.
✔️ Targeted Relief. Treats the underlying cause, not just symptoms.
✔️ Safe and Effective. Proven alternative to major pelvic surgery.
Who Is at Risk for PVI?
You may be more likely to experience Pelvic Venous Insufficiency if you:
- Have had one or more pregnancies
- Have a personal or family history of varicose veins
- Have been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries
- Experience unexplained pelvic pain that worsens when upright or during intimacy
You Don’t Have to Live With This Pain
Many women suffer for years, told their pain is “normal” or “hormonal.” But if standard treatments haven’t worked, PVI may be the missing diagnosis.
