Abstract:

Purpose: Study the frequency of pelvic venous conjunction (PVK) in patients with chronic pelvic pain. Methods: In our retrospective study, a sequential 171 patients were evaluated in the direction of the pancreatic venous conjunction by an arthritis magnetic resonance imaging (MRG) or the pancreatic MRG examination, sacralised with the cause of chronic pelvic pain. Detection of varicose venous structures with a diameter of 6 mm and larger in the parauterin-periprostatic area was considered a pelvic venous conjection. The limit of meaning is p<0,05 and double-directional. Results: All patients were taken into account and 45 (26.3%) patients were diagnosed with PVK. The incidence of PVK was estimated at 31.8% in women and 16.4% in men. Pelvic venous conjunction is more frequently observed in women than in men (p=0,044 Ki-quar test). In patients diagnosed with PVK, the average age was 35 (19-63). The result: Pelvic venous conjunction is a pathology that is frequently detected not only in women, but also in men. The distinctive diagnosis in patients with chronic pelvic pain should always be taken into account.
