Insuffisance veineuse pelvi-périnéale
Chronic pelvic pain, experienced by 10-40% of gynecology consultations, is a pain lasting over six months and is a frequent reason for diagnostic laparoscopy and hysterectomy.

The paper/chapter addresses chronic pelvic pain, characterizing its prevalence in gynecologic practice and framing pelvic venous insufficiency (pelvic congestion/pelvi-perineal venous insufficiency) as an important, often overlooked cause. It reviews prior evidence on diagnosis of pelvic varicosities using imaging approaches such as transabdominal and transvaginal sonography, alongside earlier studies in women with chronic pelvic pain and ovarian varices. It also references endovascular/interventional radiology management—particularly embolotherapy—and notes that the discussion is grounded in reported standards and available literature rather than presenting new original outcomes. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
