Anatomically, the vulvar veins have communicating branches and anastomoses between the pelvic wall and the veins of internal organs, between the internal and external iliac venous system, and with the circulation of the medial aspect of the thigh via the perineal veins. Vulvar varices are not caused by an increase in circulatory volume during pregnancy, but by increased levels of estrogen and progesterone. Vulvar veins are the target of these hormones.
Out of embarrassment, women rarely mention vulvar veins and they ar"

"ficiency (PVI) in women to date has primarily involved its most familiar clinical presentation, ie, pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) accurately described by Hobbs.1 For the last few years,2 more attention has focused on involvement of PVI in the pathogenesis of primary varicose veins or recurring varicosities of the lower limbs. This finding has been confirmed by a national epidemiologic survey that evaluated the potential incidence of pelvic pain of venous origin in a targeted population of women, and its possible association with lower limb varicosities.3
While advances in the recognition"

"ity venous insufficiency with Doppler ultrasound in women with chronic pelvic pain of undetermined origin.
A total of 100 women with chronic pelvic pain of undetermined origin lasting more than 6 months were included in the study. The presence of anechogenic and non-pulsatile vascular structures demonstrating flow in Doppler ultrasound with a diameter >5 mm in parauterine and paraovarian localizations was accepted as pelvic varicose veins. In all patients, lower extremity venous systems were examined with Doppler ultrasound to assess possible associated venous insufficiency. The chi-squa"
