Patient's question:
What are the main causes of chronic pelvic congestion? I hope the answer is comprehensive, and please reply as soon as possible. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Generally, there are three main reasons. First, the venous plexuses of the bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum are interconnected and lack valves, making it easy to cause pelvic congestion. Second, in women, especially those with poor constitution, as well as those suffering from conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, or endometritis, the increased blood flow in the pelvic veins raises venous pressure, affecting venous return and also making congestion more likely. Third, dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system can also exacerbate the state of congestion. Additionally, irregular sexual activity can lead to pelvic congestion, causing lower abdominal heaviness and distension.
