As an organization, Pedes Orange County, along with our physicians, strives to provide the very best for our patients consistently.

Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins that can cause discomfort and cosmetic concerns. They often present with a variety of symptoms that may affect daily activities and overall well-being.

Common varicose vein symptoms include:
➡️ Aching or heavy sensation in the legs
➡️ Burning, throbbing, or muscle cramping
➡️ Swelling in the lower legs
➡️ Itching around one or more veins
➡️ Skin discoloration around the affected veins

Varicose veins are most commonly caused by valves within the veins malfunctioning. Rather than allowing blood to flow smoothly back to the heart, damaged or worn valves allow the blood to back flow and pool within the veins. This back flow causes the signature swelling and enlargement that we see in varicose veins.

There are many treatments for varicose veins available, from nonsurgical medical treatments to minimally invasive procedures.

Pelvic venous disease encompasses conditions like Pelvic Venous Congestion Syndrome (PVCS) and May-Thurner Syndrome, both of which involve abnormal blood flow and vein enlargement in the pelvic region. PVCS is characterized by chronic pelvic pain due to varicose veins in the pelvis, while May-Thurner Syndrome involves compression of the iliac vein, leading to leg swelling and discomfort.

These conditions are often underdiagnosed, resulting in prolonged suffering for many patients. At Pedes Orange County, we provide comprehensive diagnostic services and personalized care to effectively manage and treat pelvic venous disease, helping patients regain their quality of life and well-being.

Symptoms of Pelvic Venous Congestion Syndrome (PVCS) include:
* Chronic pelvic pain lasting six months or longer
* Pain that worsens with standing or physical activity
* A feeling of fullness or pressure in the pelvis
* Visible varicose veins in the buttocks, thighs, or vaginal area
* Painful menstrual periods

Oftentimes, women who experience the symptoms of PVCS are directed to their gynecologist’s office for further testing. However, it takes the skill and expertise of a vascular specialist to provide proper care for this condition. If you are experiencing two or more of the above PVCS symptoms, we encourage you to call our office right away at 949-373-4890 to schedule an appointment.

Last week we co-hosted a Pelvic Pain Dinner with Sarton Physical Therapy to discuss the importance of screening for vascular disorders in pelvic pain patients—including Pelvic Venous Disease, Pelvic Venous Congestion, May Thurner Syndrome, Fibroids, Varicocele, and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Grateful for the collaboration and the opportunity to reach Sarton’s community with this vital information!
