Welcome
Pelvic?
In the bowl that is your lower belly
Congestion? – STUCK – not moving as intended
Syndrome? A whole bunch of stuff happening – loosely expected to happen as well.
WHAT IS PELVIC CONGESTION SYNDROME?
When the pelvic basin has non optimal circulation leading to blockage of what should easily flow, aching, pain, and eventual massive tissue damage as blockages dam up the fluids designed to flow, not sit about. Medically – guess work – as they ponder. Causation may be historical, and may only be uncovered when someone has the model of care and the tools to do so. You may get their knowledge base as it is here – not looking past the constraints of their model. Also here. Here is another version. It is all, from a wombworkers’ viewpoint, stabbing in the dark, as the basics – womb positioning – and correcting these – are missing.
I am speaking generally of ANY congestion in the pelvis not specifically the ONLY venous troubles. All that affects the veins, first affects the entire area – and as medicine is wont to do – honing in on one aspect – it misses that the entire body is affected. If veins are – so too is are the arterial supply, the lymph and the Qi that runs the entire body. The structure must have suffered a hit – whether physically or metaphorically – leading into STUCK.
Starting with being annoyed, generally irritated /’stressed’ in life, it grows – and spreads everywhere
Then we get really stuck as the blood flow is impinged, and the monthly filling and emptying of the womb adds to the miseries as as well, emotions, all STUCK QI gets a ‘hurry up’/boost when there is more blood immediately prior to the shedding.
In East Asian medicine – ‘Stuck Qi’ leading into ‘Stuck Blood’ and affects the entirety of being in a body – all aspects. Blaming hormones – often given as excuses. Hormones are body messengers. made in the ovaries, must have their components able to move – and wastes removed – unlikely when womb is misplaced.
Worse if removed, as then the attendant issues setting this up are still happening, but differently a the scar tissue and adhesions the loss of integrity in the entire body is now affecting everything. This is a list from here: https://unitedveincenters.com/blog/warning-signs-of-pelvic-congestion-syndrome/
1 – Chronic Pelvic Pain: Persistent pain in the pelvic region is the most common symptom. It often worsens after long periods of standing or by the end of the day.
Very common when the womb is misplaced – all has to reroute and this is at the expense of all else.
2 – Pain During Intercourse: Also called dyspareunia, this symptom can be both physically and emotionally challenging, potentially impacting intimacy and relationships. It’s important to bring up these concerns with your healthcare provider, as they are treatable and should not be ignored.
So many reasons for this – and tailbone and sacral positioning allowing (if normal) – ease of feeling. If blocked – a big mess – especially if there is the sexual misadventure that may have triggered all of this. Though from a simple fall, a life of trouble may be your’s. Medically – they may want to inject you with BOTOX!! Just what is not needed – bacterial toxins where you may grow your children.
3 – Menstrual Irregularities: Irregular or heavy periods may also signal underlying vascular issues
Look to the reasons for these – as the naming of a physical condition gives you no clue – this is where East Asian medicine shines.
See Stuck Qi and Stuck Blood for more – on my general help site explaining how a well body works – from a Qi/energy/electrical model here. . Also easyperiods.org
4 – Visible Varicose Veins: In some cases, women may notice varicose veins in their thighs or buttocks.
‘Stuck Blood’ in East Asian medicine – and needs to be seen for more than attack the veins – but undo why they are under such strain – straight into relieve why they are behaving as this – and there will be an aspect of malnutrition as well as invasion of cold energy slowing all Qi and blood and lymph circulation – avoid all ice and ice baths and using cold as a therapy – as in a woman’s body it is not your friend. Ever.
5 – Lower Back Pain: Unexplained pain radiating to the lower back could be a sign of PCS. This pain is often overlooked but essential to consider.
Look to the ligaments – this is a straight womb in wrong place issue and may also be worsened by the prolapsing of various organs – not only the womb.
6 – Feeling of Fullness in Legs: A feeling of heaviness in the legs, particularly post-exercise or standing, might also be present.
Same as above. Womb MUST be encouraged to go back to her place. To be told it is a ‘variant of normal’ to have her sitting anywhere but as she is to be is a travesty on the rest of the body. Makes good retail return business sense, and there are pelvic PT’s, all manor of helpers – none aware of starting where the problem does.
7 – Abdominal Bloating: Persistent bloating is another symptom that can be mis attributed to gastrointestinal issues.
See Stuck Liver Qi above.
8 – Swelling in the Pelvic Region: Women might notice swelling or tenderness in the lower abdomen or pelvic area.
Same as above -this is a systemic issue – not an organ failure.
9 – Fatigue: Chronic fatigue, stemming from constant discomfort and pain, is a common but less recognized symptom.
Same as above -this is a systemic issue – not an organ failure.
10 – Changes in Urination: Some might experience urinary symptoms, such as urgency or frequency, which can be confused with urinary tract issues.
This is where we get real trouble – esp if holding on has been part of life, and now is has a structural complication – whether it is called interstitial cystitis, or an infection – here we get real dramas, as when womb is sitting on tip of or in some way blocking urine, it cannot be ignored. Pink is the womb, tan/beige the bladder. Shown as designed – when dropped onto the bladder, all ligaments are also out of shape – neck, lower back troubles and heaviness.
OF GREAT CONCERN – as usual – as they do not know what CAUSE – how can they then talk ‘treatment?’
Treatment Options for Pelvic Congestion Syndrome
Once Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is diagnosed, treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and enhancing your quality of life. The best approach depends on the severity of your condition and your individual preferences. Treatment options often include medication to manage pain and inflammation, minimally invasive procedures, and, in some cases, surgical intervention. One commonly used procedure is embolization, which works by closing off the affected veins to reduce pressure and discomfort. Surgery is typically considered only when other treatments haven’t been effective.
Best to undo for the base . Pelvic structure – how did that get out of order? (Large topic). Maybe no one remembers a fall a young girl had. This may have been well before she remembers – and yet always has had (from then on) bladder, back, leg troubles – and all seen as ‘just her’. If she can be realigned – all magically goes on -back to as it would have been had she not been damaged. Body springs back to good enough and all carries on – but when periods start !!
Then not needed baby nest must be discharged – and if all is out of alignment, this will set up horrendous issues, not addressed as the scans, blood test and theories fly about. Get all back to position – and then see what is needed. Likely ingredients – and this is another large (not here) topic.
You will see as you get into womb work – that getting womb back to where she must be for easy health is essential – all else is reporting what happens when she and thus all other viscera and the structures supporting these are misplaced.
WHAT IS THE SET UP?
Pelvic organs misplaced, due to life events. Possible early tailbone, sacral and other local trauma (falls off bikes, horses, down stairs, onto gym equipment, general incidents, specific sporting ones – soccer, football injuries, any sudden hit to the body. Womb once displaced, will be held by adhesions to stop further damage. Womb is tethered in place. All centres around her. Example – when a ‘whiplash’ (pelvic torsion event) or a rogue fall set the ligaments out of order, all life as it would have been ceases. Any fall will affect the womb as she is the centre. If this is not understood, if the holding trauma patterns are not undone, the progression into eventual pelvic congestion syndrome will begin.
setting up circulation that is not ideal – in the Qi (acupuncture works to explain how a body works better than seeing the mechanics only – though standard Western medicine has not gotten the meme – STRUCTURE DETERMINES FUNCTION.
If anything is in the wrong spot, it can’t work as designed, AND it affects the entire body .
How to undo? Go back to when all worked well – and undo what happened – the three questions –
WHY YOU? (Not all women suffer)
WHY THERE? (What that side of your body, that part of you?)
WHY NOW? (It was all OK – till when?)
Possibly the shedding of the endometrial lining that was to nurture a baby (monthly as you are not wishing to make babies) has been hampered, by your life
Mechanically – falls, breakages (often the tailbone injuries, lifelong damage)
Emotional disasters centred in the area- as unwanted s*xual attention happened – including the grooming from trusted people – leading into self safety issues that lead to a life of attempting to escape what runs around in the head).
The chemical mess includ9ing what has been injected into almost all as ‘helping’ with no after effects studies – thus the rampant introduction into other species, other sex (male human cell lines making the vaccinations) plus all the adjuvants and substances never designed to be within a woman’s body – let alone what she is exposed to in breathing, drinking eating and putting on her skin.
All take normal into coping mechanisms.
The use of menstrual aids, hormonal blockers and whatever other new idea Western medicine wishes to trial – all miss the point.
Basic to this work is my decades of being a body aware natural healing detective (covering all facets of being in a body). I was initially taught classical acupuncture and chiro/tissue and womb work concurrently, then taking my own private study into all nutritional then botanical interventions to aid healing and body – life repairs
1 – Womb has to be in the correct place.
2 – Flows of Qi, blood, lymph and nerves must be able to run as designed
3 – The nutrients needed to run a breeding woman’s body must be bio-available, and constant as her growing and shedding a baby nest is..
4 – The life she lives must support and respect her bleeding/breeding journey – must of her adult life is dictated to by this process.
WHY IS IT? Acc to this site – https://www.healthline.com/health/pelvic-congestion-syndrome#causes
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT? See what hey say – manage – not correct why you have it.
Undo why it is there. THAT IS THE CRUX IF IT
MEDICAL will have a long tine to undo why as they are only looking to medical corrections – and all ‘natural’ therapies now are to be indentured/colonised into that model first. So what could be obvious, has to gradually ‘dawn’ on those who have tried to learn how to help the body help itself – that is NOT the retail business model.
Which one to choose from? Have someone work on relieving your womb’s burdens, so she goes back to where she needs to be, so all then works again?
Or go in with the ‘big guns’ and get all sorts of mechanical gadgetry installed (you are NOT a car).
We go back to why ‘womb work’ – we do not want to undergo these hopeful mechanical interventions – adding in bits to make it conform – or undo why it can’t – is your choice.
Start with the tenets of Heather’s Gentling Ways.
FEELINGS – run or ruin a life – calling the messengers of inner lament or ease of living ‘hormones’ disempowers you
Shall we undo all of this?
We know that the medical is out of its league/scope of practice in most cases. They have no idea of wellness and how to retrieve it – or even the conditions for it to be. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
A business deal done in the early 1900’s – see more on the Flexnor Report here (useful animation – all text to be read) or a fuller report on the report here
Biomedicine maybe useful for surgery. Past that, they flounder, esp not knowing how to see health, its demise, past their drugs, and sparse toolbox, and what creates health in the first place.
Hence, we start unblocking the Bao and the Dai Mai first.
Move into the adhesions, let alone the scars, as
1 – Flows Must Flow. As
2 – Structure Determines Function, have to undo these less than perfect patterns.
3 – Body Remembers Everything That Has Ever Happened
4 – Energy Follows Thought – had to stay lightful with ll this going on. Plus resources – need to be where you can be looked after
5 – Body Heals Itself. In this mess – how?
WHAT TO DO ?
Choices . . . past hoping for the best . .. handing your structural issues to someone who can’t even see them . .
If you wish to help yourself, are committed to this project, and want to be independent: happy in your skin there are many individual online self paced courses here.
There is the Nurturing Yourself/the Selfing starter kit – both set you up to attend the Love Your Womb Zoom workshop.
If you wish to go into a ‘Love Your Womb’ live class, (online, unless you can make it to where I am in FNQ, Australia – let me know.
If you wish to really undo yourself, there is the Gentling Yourself course – which again, may have experiential online personal versions if you ask.
If you are a body or health worker, who wishes to learn more – we all start with ourselves. . . the two classes – Love Your Womb (was (2017-23) my version of the Arvigo Self Care that is the precursor to the Professional Core Training) – my versions are extensively different as I bring in Qi, nutrition and soul, plus my decades of body working that addresses the shock/trauma held, the fascial and lymph disturbances, the scars on all levels and the intensive tailbone work needed to get ready to help pelvic happy/womb restoration – the FLOWS HAVE TO FLOW
