Gonadal Vein Disease

Comprehensive diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment for ovarian and testicular vein reflux disorders.

Gonadal Vein Disease

What is Gonadal Vein Disease?

Gonadal vein disease involves abnormal functioning of the gonadal veins — ovarian veins in women and testicular veins in men. When these veins become dilated and fail to return blood efficiently to the heart, venous reflux occurs.

This condition is a major contributor to chronic pelvic pain and is commonly associated with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS), where blood pools in the pelvic region instead of flowing properly.

Symptoms

  • Chronic dull ache in the pelvis
  • Pain that worsens during the day, especially with prolonged standing
  • Visible varicose veins in the genital or pelvic area
  • Discomfort during menstruation or intercourse

Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosis involves imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT venography, MRI venography, or catheter venography to identify abnormal vein dilation and reflux.

Treatment typically involves minimally invasive embolization. During this procedure, faulty veins are sealed using coils or medical-grade embolic agents, restoring proper blood flow and relieving symptoms.

FAQs

Diagnosis is confirmed through Doppler ultrasound, CT venography, MRI venography, or catheter venography to assess vein dilation and reflux.
