Pelvic Venous Disease (PeVD) is often a contributor to chronic pelvic pain that affects many women. It occurs when veins in the pelvis become enlarged and twisted, leading to increased pressure that can cause pain, heaviness and other unpleasant symptoms.
Lehigh Valley Health Network’s (LVHN) female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (urogynecology, urology) specialists have extra training in female pelvic medicine to diagnose and treat problems of the pelvic floor. These are the muscles, ligaments and tissues that support a woman’s bladder, bowel, uterus, vagina and rectum.
Lehigh Valley Heart and Vascular Institute offers comprehensive treatment for peripheral artery disease, aortic aneurysms and varicose veins. Our vascular surgeons use the latest medical and surgical therapies to diagnose and treat vascular diseases affecting blood vessels outside of the heart.
