Pelvic Congestion Syndrome

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is a frequent cause of chronic pelvic pain in women, often compared to “varicose veins of the pelvis.” It occurs when the veins in the pelvic region become enlarged and congested with blood due to weakened valves. This pooling of blood creates pressure and persistent pain that is often misdiagnosed.

Symptoms of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS)

The symptoms of PCS are often subtle but debilitating, including:

Chronic pelvic pain (lasting longer than 6 months).

A "heavy" or aching sensation in the pelvis that worsens at the end of the day or after long periods of standing.

Pain during or after intimacy.

Visible varicose veins on the vulva, buttocks, or upper thighs.

Non-Surgical Treatment for PCS

What is Pelvic Vein Embolization?

Pelvic Vein Embolization (PVE) is a specialized interventional procedure designed to shut down the painful, diseased veins. Using a small catheter, our doctors safely seal off the enlarged veins using sclerosant foam and small coils. Once the diseased veins are closed, blood naturally reroutes to healthy veins, and the painful pressure is relieved.

No Surgery Required:
Avoids the need for invasive pelvic surgery or hysterectomy.

Targeted specifically to the veins causing the pain.

Faster Healing:
Patients typically resume their daily routine within a few days.

I love going to My Aim Health in Gilbert to have the veins in my legs worked on. Renee at the front desk is very kind and thoughtful. Andrea always makes me feel like she is happy to see me when I come in shr is AMAZING! Doctor Katie Lynch is so wonderful. She is very thoughtful and kind and always explains stuff to me so I can understand what is going on. She never makes me feel like she's in a hurry to get me out of the office. I highly recommend My Aim.

Never knew that such a place exists to treat my CVI. It was an awesome experience with all the support and care of the staff. Kudos to Katie, Liza, Andrea and others who helped me through with my legs treatments. I will definitely recommend this clinic with family and friends who will have a similar problem that I had. Thank you again!

From start to finish, my experience with this practice has been exceptional. Every member of the staff—from the front desk to the physician assistants and clinical team—was kind, professional, and clearly invested in patient care. I consistently felt supported, listened to, and treated with genuine compassion. Most especially, I want to recognize Dr. Saha, who is truly one of the most excellent physicians I have ever encountered. He quite literally changed my life. Dr. Saha diagnosed and treated my pelvic congestion syndrome and my severe foot pain with a level of care, precision, and humanity that is incredibly rare. What sets Dr. Saha apart is not just his impressive credentials, but how he practices medicine. He listens deeply. He applies and synthesizes his knowledge in real time, thoughtfully adapting his approach to the patient in front of him. He explains complex medical information clearly and patiently in true layman’s terms, ensuring understanding rather than confusion. I never once felt rushed or dismissed, only respected. His attention to detail, preparation, and willingness to approach delicate procedures with humility and care speaks volumes about his character and skill. The outcomes of my procedures reflect this: effective treatment with minimal trauma and clear signs of thoughtful, expert technique. Finding an outstanding vascular specialist is incredibly difficult. Finding one who combines technical excellence with empathy, communication, and integrity is even rarer. Dr. Saha is that physician, an absolute angel of a doctor, and I am profoundly grateful for his care. I cannot recommend Dr. Saha and his entire team highly enough. This is medicine practiced the way it should be.

I’ve had a consistently excellent experience at My Aim Health's newest location in Gilbert. From the front desk to the providers, the entire team is kind, courteous, and truly goes above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable and well cared for. The appointment process is smooth and efficient—they are always able to get patients in faster than any clinic I’ve ever been to. The clinic itself is modern, clean, and welcoming—it never feels like a cold or intimidating medical office. Dr. Saha is wonderful. He listens attentively, explains everything clearly, and makes you feel confident in your care. Katie, the nurse practitioner, is also fantastic. She’s incredibly skilled at vein treatments and consistently makes decisions that are in the patient’s best interest. Her expertise and compassionate approach are so appreciated. When undergoing multiple vein treatments, you naturally get to know the staff, and developing those relationships makes the entire experience more pleasant and reassuring. It’s a comfort knowing you’re in good hands with people who genuinely care. I would wholeheartedly recommend My Aim to family, friends, or anyone in need of vascular care. They provide exceptional, timely treatment delivered with kindness, respect, and professionalism.

I cannot say enough good things about My AIM Health. The medical care here is outstanding and highly professional. I visit regularly for my routine medical appointments, and the staff always treats me with the utmost respect and care. Recently, I underwent my 3rd leg vascular procedure at the clinic.

If you need reliable, top-tier medical professionals who truly listen to their patients, I highly recommend My AIM Health. Thank you Dr Saha, Evan, Kurt, Emily, Randy, Anna, Cristian, and Amanda!

Professional skill with a human touch sums up my visit with this provider. They took the time to explain what they would do and what they were in fact specifically doing during the medical procedure. All members of the team took the time to chat about personal interests too. Very pleased with their abilities to provide effective medical services. Strong recommendation.

5 years of Fibroid Pain Gone! Backstory: I’d been having painful periods since 2020.. to where every month I’d have to call off work at least two days because the start of my flow was so heavy and painful..abdominal cramps and overwhelming fatigue would keep me in bed and missing out on life events. The pain felt like something blocking my flow.. something was in the way of having normal periods. It wasn’t until I finally sought out my Gyno for an ultrasound that I found out I had uterine fibroids - one the size of my own uterus! Although there were a few surgical options.. the best option for me, a 36 y/o childless woman, was the Uterine Fibroid Embolization. My Dr. led me to a referral to My Aim Health and Dr. Arnold Saha - best decision made. I had my procedure done early May, 2025.. From the outstanding, caring and compassionate team that walked me through the procedure to the surgical team performing the minimally invasive surgery.. everything went amazing. The pain I felt for 5 years.. it’s gone. A month and a half later post surgery.. the heavy pressure my body was under dealing with the control of fibroids has been alleviated. It’s like my body did a big exhale of relief! Even my bladder is happier because the fibroid isn’t pushing on it making me feel like I have a uti. All in all, if you are thinking about having this procedure done.. do it! This is your sign! My Aim Health and Dr. Saha are amazing at what they do and they can help cure you of your uterine fibroid pain! I’m grateful and thankful to have had such a great experience🥲🥰🙏

I can’t speak highly enough about my experience at My Aim Health Vein and Vascular in Scottsdale. From the moment you walk in, the staff make you feel genuinely cared for. They are consistently kind, courteous, and go above and beyond to ensure patients are comfortable and supported throughout their visit. Scheduling appointments is incredibly easy, and their ability to get patients in quickly—especially when something is urgent—is unmatched. It’s rare to find a clinic that’s so efficient without compromising on the quality of care. Dr. Saha is truly outstanding. He takes the time to listen, answers questions thoroughly, and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. His collaboration with other providers at the clinic shows just how cohesive and patient-focused their team is. The clinic itself is clean, modern, and welcoming. It has a calming atmosphere that helps ease the anxiety often associated with medical visits. I would absolutely recommend My Aim to my family and friends. They deliver exceptional, timely care with kindness, professionalism, and respect. It's clear they truly care about their patients.

I was spending 20-25 minutes each time I had to urinate ! It was awkward and uncomfortable. I woke up often to go in the middle of the night. I was actively looking for a non evasive solution to my problem! I have an artificial heart valve that requires me to be on warfarin and that causes me to bleed quite a bit if I am cut or have a laser procedure, so naturally I was not comfortable having this done! Through many questions I asked and a couple of urologists I finally found the right solution. It’s called a PAE I met Doctor Arnold Saha! I liked him instantly and set up the procedure asap ! I had a catheter and foly bag for 6 months so I had my doubts but just as he said two weeks later I was urinating like a race horse ! Pain free and no bleeding I was out of the procedure 3-4 hours later and on my way home. Others that had the procedure before me did not have a catheter and was able to urinate 30 minutes after the procedure! I was just happy to be back to feeling whole again. It is awesome! Thank you Doctor Saha , this procedure gave me my life back again! Bruce Chimerofsky

I had the uterine fibroid embolization procedure done yesterday 6/5/2020. I highly recommend Dr, David Wood to anybody. I was highly impressed with Dr. Woods staff from my very first contact with his office. I was even more impressed when I went in for my consultation a week before my procedure was scheduled! Dr. Wood has phenomenal bedside manners, is very patient and takes the time to discuss the procedure very thoroughly, while allowing you to ask questions. My procedure went well and I am excited to see how this improves my quality of life! Happy tears! Thank you so much Dr. David Wood and his entire staff! You are the best!! 😊
