AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON PELVIC CONGESTION SYNDROME

Pelvic congestion syndrome is a condition where varicose veins in the lower abdomen cause heaviness and pain in the pelvic area. Hemorrhoids, vaginal varices, varicose veins, and varicocele (testicular congestion in men) are common in this condition.

Varicose veins in the pelvis commonly develop during pregnancy. This is generally related to both heat and dampness in the blood causing congestion.

Estrogen dominance, obesity, portal hypertension, and biliary disease can aggravate this condition. Estrogen stimulates growth of the endometrium, causing uterine congestion, which then causes pelvic blood congestion.

Constipation, obesity, liver congestion, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor circulation all contribute to pelvic congestion.

Heating foods like chili pepper, stimulate your body and increase metabolism. For 'Pelvic Congestion Syndrome', you should select foods with the following biocharacteristics. Individual results will vary, based on your body type and the root cause of your imbalance.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

PELVIC CONGESTION SYNDROME IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)
