Questionnaire

Does your pelvic pain have a venous component?

Dull lower-abdominal pain that a "normal" ultrasound fails to explain for years often turns out to be pelvic varicose veins. Answer 12 questions — the test estimates whether your pain's signature looks venous and whether a standing pelvic-vein Doppler is worth requesting. This is screening, not a diagnosis.
