Funda Sahillioğlu, 48, who lives in Istanbul, has experienced severe abdominal pain and bloating for 7 years. Sahillioğlu, who has been treated for years for ovarian cysts, revealed her real illness 3 months ago. It was determined that Sahillioğlu, a mother of 2, had varicose veins in her ovaries but had not been noticed for a long time, and she regained her health with a 4-hour operation. The disease, which is seen in women between the ages of 20-50, is defined by experts as a 'hidden disease'. Funda Sahillioğlu, a Personal Development Specialist living in Istanbul, went to a gynecologist 7 years ago due to severe pain in her lower abdomen. The doctor said it could be an ovarian cyst and applied treatment. The pain of the young mother of 2 did not respond to treatment. Sahillioğlu, who has suffered from abdominal pain and bloating for years, was diagnosed with uterine and ovarian varicose veins (pelvic venous congestion syndrome) in an ultrasound and medicated computerized tomography scan she performed at a different hospital 3 months ago. TREATED WITH THE PROCEDURE OF ‘OCCUPYING THE ENLARGED VEINS’ Sahillioğlu, who had suffered for years from a disease that occurs with the expansion of the veins in the lower abdomen and groin, was treated with the ‘endovascular embolization’ procedure, in which an incision is made into a vein in the neck through a needle-hole-sized opening to reach the varicose ovarian and uterine veins using the Interventional Radiology method at Yeditepe University Koşuyolu Hospital and the procedure is performed. Sahillioğlu, who regained her health by blocking the enlarged and painful veins, said that she felt as if she had been reborn. KNOWN AS A HIDDEN DISEASE OF WOMEN Pelvic venous congestion syndrome is usually seen in women between the ages of 20-50. Experts define the disease, which occurs with the expansion of the veins in the lower abdomen, around the ovaries and uterus, and in the groin, as the hidden disease of women. “THE BLOATING WAS ONLY GOING WHEN I LAYED DOWN” Sahillioğlu, who stated that her abdominal area was swollen more than it actually was when she stood up, said that this was the first time she had heard of uterine and ovarian varicose veins. Expressing that she was feeling uneasy due to her pain, Sahillioğlu said, “It was pressing towards my groin and causing pain. This was making me feel uneasy. Even if I stood up for 10 minutes while washing dishes or cooking, I would experience these problems. When I lay down, the bloating would go away.” #news #agenda #breakingnews
