Chronic pelvic pain? You may never have been checked for this.

Get "Understanding Pelvic Congestion Syndrome" — the vein-related cause of pelvic pain many women are never told about. What it is, the signs, a 1-minute self-check, and exactly what to do next. Plain language, no pressure. From Dr. Martin Carignan, MD — fellowship-trained vascular surgeon.

Does this sound like you?

  • A deep ache, heaviness, or pressure in your pelvis that builds through the day
  • Pain that's worse when you stand or sit a long time — and eases when you lie down
  • Pelvic pain that started or worsened after pregnancy
  • Aching that's worse before or during your period, or after intimacy
  • Tests and exams that came back "normal" — but the pain is still there

What's inside the guide

  • What Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is — why it's essentially "varicose veins in the pelvis," and why it's so often missed.
  • A 1-minute self-check — score your own symptoms and see whether it's worth a conversation.
  • "Isn't it surgery?" — answered — why treatment is typically minimally invasive, in-office under mild sedation, same-day home.
  • Your simple next-step plan — exactly what to do, including how insurance and Medicare are handled.
