How long do you find a flare lasts? Maybe that’s a tough question to answer.

This all started for me very recently. I was having some symptoms, went boating on a day of rough waves and was bracing myself constantly on the boat while sitting. After that, my pain increased ten fold. I thought I had a UTI but nope. Kept getting bad burning in my pelvis, it was hard to start a urine stream and so on.

The intense pain started around three weeks ago and I’ve been really trying to simply rest the last 48 hours which is tough with kids. I will make my referral appointment with an IR tomorrow.

Hi. I am new to this and will try to keep brief. Long story but pelvic ultrasound showed prominent veins the other day and the radiologist wrote this is consistent with pelvic congestion syndrome. Yes-I have pain. I went back to see my GYN today with my husband to follow-up from my ER visit for this where I also had a CT scan done and bloods. Both clear.

My GYN gave me a referral to an interventional radiologist but really brushed off this could be my cause of pain and spotting issue since December.

Ok. Making this a longer story. I started spotting and went to check on it. I had a frond like growth high up in my vagina. Thank God tested benign. Continued spotting. Followed-up again Tuesday and yet again, ulcerated tissue in the same spot. Another biopsy. Again, thank God, benign and came back consistent with some type of friction likely rubbing there. My friends, I am no porn star, ha, so it’s not that.

I TRULY believe the compression is causing rubbing there and that’s why this is happening. It all seems to line up.

My doctor was just so meh about it all and is a male.

What do I do? I made a consult with an interventional radiologist today for June 2nd. Do vein doctors with experience work the same? Please guide me and thank you. 🙏🏻

Hi. Does anyone have very light spotting the third week of their combined birth control pills? I’m on a regular dose and this can happen to me a few days before I start my sugar pills. Yesterday an internal OB exam triggered it and sometimes sex will. I have been on this type of pill for many years and now I pay attention to it but I “think” it has happened in the past as well. I’m 43.
