Pelvic congestion syndrome is primarily brought about by the formation of varicose veins especially below the abdomen, around the pelvic region to be exact. The characteristic of the pain in PCS is said to be dull and this is believed to be exacerbated when a woman is standing. Health care specialists are still on the lookout for the main reason of the development of such condition. There are some findings that include pregnancy as one of the primary culprits for such. This has been pointed out to further enlarge varicose pains causing more pain.

About 15 percent of women are believed to have varicose veins somewhere in the lower abdominal region. Nonetheless, some of them remain asymptomatic. While the causes of some of the reported cases have already been identified, there are still those whose cause remains unknown. Women in their reproductive years, usually those aging 20 to 45, are at risk of developing this condition especially if they have multiple pregnancies. It is imperative for women to know something about this condition.
