@pur1rucha If you haven't had an ultrasound yet that's what ti start with. It has to be an ultrasound externally and vaginally to look at blood flow. If problems are indicated then venegram which is using a catheter under twilight sedation. You need a referral to a vascular surgeon not gynagologist if ultrasound finds any reflux. The vascular surgeon gets an Interventional Radiologist to do the venegram. At least that's how it works here. Ultimately venegram gold standard. In my case compressions ie: May Turner and Nutcracker should have been checked for before embolization. It used to be the thinking to embolise reluxing ovarian veins first but now they shoukd be checking fix what's causing it/them to reflux and fix that first. I don't have pelvic pain I have saddle pain with a lot of pain sitting. Definitely vascular not gyno referral. If it's not venous then other causes have to be looked at I suppose with gynagologist.

@aggie104360 may I ask, what is saddle pain? Is it a heavy pull down feeling?
