Pelvic congestion syndrome is actually due to the presence of varicose veins in and around the pelvic region. When present in the pelvic region, as in the legs, the result is a venous circulatory deficiency that can result in a net pooling of blood in the affected area and, in turn, an increased level of pressure and congestion. The result can cause people to have fertility issues. Whether they actually cause a person to have irregular cycles is up for debate, but theoretically could since there is a diminished venous flow in the pelvic region due to all of the congestion caused by the varicose veins.
