dc.description.abstractDear Editors, We have read the article published by Hansrani et al. [1] with great interest. In their well defined case control study, they have evaluated the venous symptoms in patients with pelvic vein incompetence (PVI) and varicose veins (VV). They have recruited 40 premenopausal women with PVI and VV, 40 premenopausal women only with VV and 40 healthy controls without PVI and VV. They have found that, PVI patients suffer more pelvic pain than the VV patients and healthy controls. They have also found that quality of life in PVI patients are lower than healthy controls and these patients need more national health system resources. According to these results, there are several take home messages. Peripheral varicose veins and pelvic peins are linked by a volume or pressure load or direct connections. In the light of this association, we can state that venous reflux or dilatation in these vascular systems might be originated from a generalized vascular wall disease [2]. It is very important to identify the symptoms in this patient group because of the decreased quality of life and increased hospital admissions in these patients as the authors mentioned in their study [1]. These patients should be assessed with a more detailed history of their complaints. The prevalence of chronic venous diseases is high in elderly population and these patients have comorbid diseases. Also assessment of venous symptoms is difficult in this population [3]. Due to the selection of younger patients and the absence of comorbid diseases like pregnancy, renal failure, heart failure, liver failure, venous thromboembolism, malignancy, hysterectomy allowed the authors to evaluate the venous symptoms more detailed. This condition makes their study more valuable. However, we need further studies to explain the symptomatology and pathophysiology of chronic venous diseases.en_US
