How is the treatment for varicose veins in the uterus

The treatment for pelvic varicose veins, which are dilated veins in the pelvic region, aims to decrease symptoms such as pain in the pelvic region, pain during intercourse and a feeling of heaviness or swelling in the intimate region, and can be done with:

Painkillers and varicose veins remedies prescribed by the angiologist or vascular surgeon. Technical embolization surgery

In addition, during treatment for pelvic varicose veins it is also important to adopt some precautions such as wearing elastic compression stockings and exercising regularly to promote compression of the veins and improve the return of venous blood to the heart.

Surgery for pelvic varices

In pelvic varicose vein surgery, the doctor "knots" the affected veins, causing blood to circulate only in veins that are healthy. This surgery requires hospitalization and is performed under general anesthesia.

In cases where this surgery or embolization is not effective, surgery may be necessary to remove varicose veins, or to remove the uterus or ovaries.

Embolization technique for pelvic varices

Embolization consists of placing small springs within the dilated pelvic veins, to block the blood supply to the veins and thereby reduce symptoms. For this, the doctor has to insert a needle into the veins of the pelvic region, place a catheter and only then insert the "springs".

Embolization is done with local anesthesia and sedation, lasts about 1 to 3 hours and generally, hospitalization is not necessary. In addition, foam sclerotherapy or other embolizers such as Gelfoam or Cyanoacrylate can be used to help occlude the affected veins.

After the procedure, it is normal for the patient to experience pain and discomfort in the pelvic area and the catheter placement site turns purple.

What to do during treatment for pelvic varicose veins
