Bed wetting is embarrassing and frustrating but common and not usually a cause for concern. However, it is important for parents to understand what is happening and what we can do about it.

What if you have chronic pelvic pain and you don’t have endometriosis? OR. what if you have endometriosis but the endometriosis treatments are not working for you?
Is it possible that there is another less common cause of your pelvic pain?
Maybe it is pelvic congestion syndrome, a condition a bit like having varicose veins around your ovaries and uterus. It is thought to be caused by failure of the valves in the uterine veins to stop backflow of blood. This in turn allows the backflow of blood in the pelvis causing the veins to swell and twist into grape like structures much like hemorrhoids around your ovaries and uterus. This can be extremely painful.
