Episode Details

For years, I felt a heaviness, pressure, and pain in my pelvis that no one could explain. I was told it was “just period pain,” “probably prolapse,” or even “all in my head.” But eventually, I learned the truth: it was Pelvic Venous Disorder, also known as Pelvic Congestion Syndrome.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or alone with your symptoms — this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, I’m opening up about my personal journey with PeVD — what it’s like to live with it, what I’ve learned along the way, and how you can manage it throughout your life.

Because here’s the thing: pelvic venous disorders are real, they’re common, and you are not broken. There are ways to find relief and live fully, even with this condition.

• ✅ What Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PeVD) actually is — and why it’s often misdiagnosed.
  
  

• ✅ My own journey of living with PeVD: from dismissal to understanding to empowerment.
  
  

• ✅ Everyday strategies that help me manage symptoms (movement, breathwork, release practices, nutrition, supports).
  
  

• ✅ How PeVD shows up differently during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
  
  

• ✅ The mental + emotional impact of living with chronic pelvic pain — and why naming it matters.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is rarely talked about, but it affects so many women. Learning to recognize the signs, advocate for yourself, and build a supportive care team can make all the difference. And when you realize you’re not alone, everything shifts — you can move from fear and frustration into hope and healing.
