Pelvic Congestion Syndrome - Chronic Pelvic Pain in Women

Non-Surgical Procedure is Effective Treatment for Painful Ovarian Varicose Veins

It is estimated that one-third of all women will experience chronic pelvic pain in their lifetime. Many of these women are told the problem is "all in their head" but recent advancements now show the pain may be due to hard to detect varicose veins in the pelvis, known as pelvic congestion syndrome.

The causes of chronic pelvic pain are varied, but are often associated with the presence of ovarian and pelvic varicose veins. Pelvic congestion syndrome is similar to varicose veins in the legs. In both cases, the valves in the veins that help return blood to the heart against gravity become weakened and don't close properly, this allows blood to flow backwards and pool in the vein causing pressure and bulging veins. In the pelvis, varicose veins can cause pain and affect the uterus, ovaries and vulva. Up to 15 percent of women, generally between the ages of 20 and 50, have varicose veins in the pelvis, although not all experience symptoms.

The diagnosis if often missed because women lie down for a pelvic exam, relieving pressure from the ovarian veins, so that the veins no longer bulge with blood as they do while a woman is standing.

Many women with pelvic congestion syndrome, spend many years trying to get an answer to why they have this chronic pelvic pain. Living with chronic pelvic pain is difficult and affects not only the woman directly, but also her interactions with her family, friends, and her general outlook on life. Because the cause of the pelvic pain is not diagnosed, no therapy is provided even though there is therapy available.

Use your legal rights in a helpful way to educate the staff who works with your son. Chances are he is the first diagnosed student with Asperger's they have worked with. First, in writing, request a full re-evaluation for your son. (Address the letter to the principal and cc it to the director of special education. The ball will begin rolling on both sides ASAP.) This way you can begin the process of meetings, etc before the first day of school. In this letter to the principal, tell them you have a diagnosis of Asperger's and will bring that information to the meeting to share with the IEP team. Plan on leaving that copy with them. They will most certainly need the evaluation. Then they have 90 days (and less in certain areas) to complete the reevaluation. A new summary and a new IEP should be written at the re-evaluation results meeting. In the meantime, get yourself in touch with the local autism society. Know your rights and what you would like the school to do for him. If you have a goal for your child you can articulate that for the school staff much easier.
