Pelvic varices - what does this mean

Pelvic varices are dilated veins in the pelvic area, usually caused by increased pressure in the portal venous system due to liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, or other conditions. this increased pressure causes blood to backflow and pool in the veins of the pelvis, leading to their enlargement.

What happens during the disease - pelvic varices

Pelvic varices are dilated veins in the pelvis that occur due to impaired venous return from the lower extremities. this is usually caused by an underlying condition that causes increased pressure in the veins of the pelvis, such as deep vein thrombosis, pelvic tumors, or pelvic fractures. in some cases, pelvic varices can also be caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure due to pregnancy, obesity, or constipation. this increased pressure in the veins can cause them to become distended and fragile, leading to increased risk of rupture and bleeding.
