Overview
Ovarian Congestion Syndrome (OCS) is a medical condition that affects many women, causing pelvic discomfort and various associated symptoms. At the Vein Center of Arizona, our team of highly skilled doctors specializing in Vascular Medicine understands the impact of this condition on your life and can provide effective treatments to alleviate your symptoms.
Causes
Ovarian Congestion Syndrome occurs when blood vessels in the ovaries become dilated and swollen, leading to a feeling of heaviness and pain in the pelvic area. The precise cause of OCS is not fully understood, but it is believed to be associated with hormonal imbalances and the pooling of blood in the veins surrounding the ovaries.
Factors that contribute to the development of Ovarian Congestion Syndrome include pregnancy, obesity, and certain medical conditions that increase intra-abdominal pressure. Additionally, hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle can worsen the symptoms experienced by women with OCS.
It is essential to consult with our experienced doctors at the Vein Center of Arizona to accurately diagnose Ovarian Congestion Syndrome and rule out other potential causes for your symptoms.
