How is it diagnosed?

Pelvic Venous Congestion Syndrome (PCS) must be diagnosed by a medical specialist.This will begin with a thorough clinical history and physical examination.

You may then be referred for an ultrasound or another type of scan if the veins cannot be seen using the ultrasound.

Looking at your pelvic veins using contrast (Venography) is the most accurate way to diagnose PCS and is performed under local anesthetic.1
