Chronic Pelvic Pain? A Hidden Cause Many Women Miss

Chronic pelvic pain is common—but it is not normal, and it is often misdiagnosed.

In this video, Dr. Fabio Komlos, an Interventional Radiologist, explains Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS)—a frequently overlooked but treatable cause of chronic pelvic pain in women.

If your pelvic pain:
• Feels dull, heavy, or aching
• Has lasted more than 6 months
• Is worse at the end of the day
• Worsens with standing, during periods, or after intercourse
• Has no clear explanation after seeing a GYN

👉 Pelvic Congestion Syndrome may be the cause.

What you’ll learn in this video:
• What Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is
• Why dilated pelvic veins cause pain
• Common symptoms and risk factors (including pregnancy and genetics)
• How PCS is diagnosed (ultrasound, CT/MRI, venogram)
• Why PCS does not improve on its own
• Treatment options—with a focus on gonadal vein embolization, a minimally invasive procedure performed by interventional radiologists

Minimally Invasive Treatment: Gonadal Vein Embolization

This outpatient procedure:
• Does not require surgery
• Does not require general anesthesia
• Takes about 30–45 minutes
• Allows patients to go home the same day
• Has a high success rate, with over 80% of patients experiencing long-term symptom improvement

Most patients return to normal activities within days.

Still in pain despite “normal” tests?

If you’ve been told:

“Your imaging looks normal”
“We don’t see anything wrong”
“It’s probably hormonal”

…but your symptoms persist—this condition deserves a closer look.
