🚨What is the Relationship Between Pelvic Congestion Syndrome and Pregnancy?🤰 📌 The rate of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome increases with the number of births. It is more common in women who have given birth more than once. ‼️ 📌Due to hormonal (the vasodilating effects of estrogen and progesterone hormones) and the pressure and pressure exerted by the baby itself and the growing uterus during pregnancy, significant enlargements (varicose veins) occur in the abdominal and leg veins. The development of this condition occurs over time and is usually due to the deterioration of the valve mechanism in the ovarian vein. 📌Extra weight gained during pregnancy, anatomical changes in the pelvic structures due to pregnancy directly affect the venous blood flow in the pelvic region. ‼️ 📌 Due to the blood accumulating (pooling) in the pelvic and ovarian veins, healthy venous blood flow slows down, almost coming to a standstill. Accordingly, pain often develops as a result of blood clotting (thrombosis) in the vein and the pressure of the enlarged veins on the nearby pelvic nerves due to the mass effect.
