Objectives: Patients with pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) often report overlapping somatic symptoms and syndromes. The objective of this study was to explore the prevalence of co-existing symptoms and self-reported syndrome diagnoses among women with PCS and to inform future research hypotheses.
Methods: A brief online survey was offered to members of a PCS support group website.
Article Synopsis
- - A study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of left common iliac vein (LCIV) compression in female patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), as some patients showed symptom improvement after pelvic venous insufficiency (PVI) treatment.
- - Radiologists analyzed CT images of 216 women, revealing that 69% of POTS patients had significant LCIV compression (>50%), compared to only 40% in age-matched controls.
- - The results indicate a strong correlation between LCIV compression and POTS, suggesting many women with POTS may have a higher chance of iliac venous obstruction, which warrants further assessment for potential treatment benefits.
