Pelvic Congestion Syndrome - Chronic Pelvic Pain and Pelvic Venous Disorders

I was just recently diagnosed with PCS. I believed I had endometriosis for years and the pain got so bad I finally went for surgery. After surgery, they found no endometriosis and diagnosed me instead with PCS. I had spent years reading and researching about endometriosis only to start back to square one. This book is literally one of the only books on PCS and reading through it I can’t believe there isn’t more research on this problem. This book is very informative and I wish I could find more research and resources for PCS education.

Dr. Whiteley’s book is very informative and common sense. I learned a lot about my condition. Highly recommend anyone who has PCS or treats PCS to read. Dr. Whiteley does a great job explaining things in terms anyone can understand.

I was quite shocked how few books there are on the topic of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. This one does a great job of educating the reader on the basics of this awful condition. I would encourage any woman (or man) who suspects PCS as their affliction to start here, with this thorough and all encompassing book.

Knowledgeable resource for Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. It is written in a way that non-medical people can understand it, too.

I found this book to be very well written. It clearing explains the condition and what should and should not be done for this. Given many doctors do not seem to be very well informed on this condition it makes this book that much more valuable. If you have had chronic pelvic pain and have seen many doctors, had all types of xrays, mris, cat scans and evaluations and have not yet received a valid diagnosis, please look into the possibility of having this often undiagnosed condition.

Finally happy to see a book on this subject! The book was extremely informative and was a very big eye opener for me. I also recently had a consultation with Professor Whiteley and was incredibly impressed by his knowledge. I highly suggest the book!

Good information about PCS. Great book!

Ho appena iniziato a leggerlo, è scorrevole e le immagini sono chiare. Anche se avrei preferito più approfondimenti.

Unfortunately, he repeats a lot to get certain information from some other of his books, which is both irrelevant to the reader who bought this book specifically to be told more than 5 times, and in my case I had already bought another of his books on varicose veins which I never received(unlikely his fault directly but I was never reimboursed so though my interest remains, I feel it must be said). The book itself is rather small, but it is as good for the layperson as the medical student and I recommend that every doctor be made aware of the information contained herein. I do hope these books are published in other languages as it is important for such vital information to be spread to reach as many people as possible. Although the research he and his team have carried out is real and can be found on the internet, he mentions it without linking any sources, which does raise alarms to the scientific reader, and though you may be reassured to find out indeed it is not all nonsense, in order to get to that point after reading the book, you are made to do your own research, which is great training to get into, but not what made you buy the book. The size of the book is small and sensing his other books are of similar length, I feel they could all have been put in the same book. However, it is very informative and the most up to date research carried out on pelvic congestion syndrome and therefore, I do recommend this book.

I am a French Canadian and it was easy for me to read and understand this book. When reading it, we can appreciate the PCS knowledge of Dr. Whiteley. Without a doubt, it is the best book about PCS. It did help me a lot as to understand my pain, how to deal with it and to orientate my questions to my vascular surgeon. Dr. Whiteley is a real pedagogue and explanations are crystal clear about PCS. Thank you very much for being passionnate about such a terrible women condition and to try to improve our quality of life.

Amazing book and amazing research mr Whitley has dedicated his life to vains and pelvic congestion having this condition I would of been lost without all dr whitleys research it’s made me not feel. Alone and there is someone out there fighting for us he truly is a lovely guy who cares for vain health and impact it has on our health which causes great disability he has come so far in research it’s nice to see how many are starting to understand this condition and treat it and it’s all down to him thank u dr Whitley from Melissa c

Did you know that 30% of women who complain of chronic pelvic pain have Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS)? And 30% of those women end up with psych referrals. No, it's not in our heads! This book has been a saviour for me after receiving a diagnosis of PCS. Professor Mark Whiteley has been researching PCS and other venous syndromes for over 20 years. Not only do I now understand what's happening in my body, but I have an extremely strong understanding of the procedure I will receive. Highly recommend this book for you or even your doctor if you're having trouble getting them to believe you. Not many doctors know about this condition.
