Serotonin and prostaglandins were elevated in the peritoneal fluid of patients with pelvic congestion compared to controls, suggesting their involvement in the condition's development.

Abstract

The concentration of serotonin and prostaglandins in peritoneal fluid were measured in 14 patients with pelvic congestion and 14 normal women. Results showed that in pelvic congestion group 5-HT and TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha levels were higher than that of control; but DA and histamine were lower. It is suggested that the serotonin and prostaglandins may play an important role in developing pelvic congestion.
