Pelvic pain can be a mystery, even when it's so intense that it becomes incapacitating. It could be down to period cramps or endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the womb lining grows outside of it.

However, for some, the source of the agony might be a lesser-known condition called pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS), which affects around 1.5 million women in the UK.

Many are unaware they have it or even what it is. Corrine Jones, who lives with PCS, shares her experience: "Before I got diagnosed with PCS,I had a heaviness and discomfort around the abdominal area.

At times it would be debilitating." She continues, "After a long day being on my feet, I'd be wiped out. Initially, I thought it had something to do with my ovulation, but the more I thought about it, the more I realised it was happening randomly. "I went to the doctor about the varicose veins in my legs because they were causing me discomfort," she recalls. "I never went to the doctor about the pains in my pelvis, but I ended up in hospital because I was in so much pain.They suspected it was my appendix, a cyst or endometriosis but they didn't find any issues," reports the Mirror.
