These doctors, this poor lady. I did my own research, and it was obvious to me. A matter of deduction. Varicose veins in my legs bilaterally. Why can't it be in my torso. Duh! Luckily, they did at CT with contrast, saw it and now there's proof. Doc came back in the room afterwards and was like you were right you do have varicose vein in your pelvis, it's called Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. Boom diagnosis. This particular ER doc was young, unjaded and very sweet. Did an awesome job. He believed me when I explained what my symptoms were. So many doctors are know it -nothings. Not all, but many. God be with all those women who suffer. Advocate well for yourselves. And CT with CONTRAST will show everything!!!
I had so many underlying symptoms since starting puberty. My diagnosis didn't come until getting hospitalized for what my family thought was gallbladder or appendix and a week of no food or liquids going down. Haven't had a pregnancy yet, so my diagnosis was very bizarre to get
I don’t know if the imaging got better for ultrasounds now but that’s how I was recently diagnosed!! Thank you so much ❤️
