Summary

This study tests whether a procedure called embolization (blocking off abnormal veins) can reduce long-term pelvic pain in women with pelvic varicose veins. About 40 women with severe pain for over 6 months will be randomly assigned to either get the embolization or just a vein imaging test. Researchers will measure pain changes and quality of life to see if the procedure helps.
