“Most women with chronic pelvic pain who tested negative for common causes, namely endometriosis, uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts, often felt their condition was a mystery they had to live with,” says John White, M.D., a vascular surgeon at Lutheran General Hospital.
A multidisciplinary team of physicians, including Dr. White and obstetrician/gynecologists, urologists and radiologists, discovered that either a transvaginal ultrasound—an internal ultrasound of the vagina—or a venogram could identify the problem if the women remained nearly standing during the tests.
To treat the condition, surgeons put small coils into the varicose veins to close off the vein and redirect blood to the heart.
