Pelvic Congestion Syndrome - Chronic Pelvic Pain and Pelvic Venous Disorders:

Pelvic congestion syndrome is one of the most misunderstood and least well-known medical conditions today. Because doctors most do not look for it, nor treat it:

  • 1 in 3 (30%) of women with chronic pelvic pain get misdiagnosed and no treatment
  • 1 in 6 (16.7%) of women and 1 in 30 (3%) of men with leg varicose veins get incomplete treatment and a higher risk of recurrence
  • Women with intimate varicose veins of vagina, vulva, and labia do not get offered curative treatment

However, research over the last 20 years has led us to know how we can investigate it and cure most people who have it.

Moreover, research is showing how hemorrhoids (piles), varicocele in men and some erectile dysfunction are also due to pelvic venous disorders, and how new treatments are being developed for each.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome - Chronic Pelvic Pain and Pelvic Venous Disorders explains the concepts, the veins, how they go wrong to cause the problem - and how specialists at The Whiteley Clinic have spent 20 years developing the optimal investigations and treatments for this condition.

This book is aimed at both the public and health care professionals who want to know more about this fascinating condition that affects millions of women and men in the world today.

He is one of the authors on the recent International Consensus Document on Pelvic Congestion Syndrome from the UIP. Mark qualified as a doctor in 1986 from St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, and was a lecturer in surgery at the Unversity of Oxford 1995-8. He became a consultant vascular surgeon in 1998, moving to be a full-time venous surgeon in 2005. Mark performed the first endovenous surgery for varicose veins in the UK in March 1999 and started researching pelvic venous disorders in 2000. He invented the TRLOP procedure to treat perforating veins in 2001. He set up The Whiteley Clinic as a centre of excellence in venous disorders in 2002 and The College of Phlebology to share his knowledge with patients and other health care professionals in 2011. In 2019 Mark performed the first endovenous microwave treatment for varicose veins in Europe and in May 2019, was the second doctor in the world to treat varicose veins using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Echotherapy. In 2019 he set up The College of Phlebology International Registry so that doctors who join can benchmark their results against other doctors doing the same procedures, and patients can see who is getting acceptable results from their treatments. Mark continues to work to bring new ideas and technology to venous patients, to improve results and get the best outcomes possible.
