Pelvic Congestion Syndrome

Here’s one that can affect both men and women. Feeling like you are carrying a weight in your pelvic region? The weight could be caused by pelvic congestion syndrome, a condition that causes varicose veins to form around the ovarian vein deep within the pelvis and results in blood pooling in the area. This leads to severe pressure and pain. The pain will also typically worsen during and after sexual intercourse.
