In a group of 55 women with chronic pain due to pelvic congestion measurement by ultrasound revealed they had a larger uterus and thicker endometrium as compared with a group of normal women matched for age, parity and the presence of polycystic ovaries found on ultrasound scanning. Many women with pelvic congestion (56%) were found on ultrasound to have cystic changes in their ovaries which ranged from a classic polycystic pattern to the appearance of clusters of 4-6 cysts in bilaterally enlarged ovaries. It is suggested that uterine enlargement and thickening of the endometrium are caused by oestrogen, either from the effects on the target organs of an increased concentration or of hypersensitivity to oestrogen.
在一组55名因盆腔充血而患有慢性疼痛的女性中，超声测量显示，与一组年龄、产次匹配且超声扫描发现有卵巢多囊样改变的正常女性相比，她们的子宫更大，子宫内膜更厚。经超声检查发现，许多盆腔充血的女性（56%）卵巢有囊性改变，范围从典型的多囊样形态到双侧卵巢出现4 - 6个囊肿的簇状外观。有人认为，子宫增大和子宫内膜增厚是由雌激素引起的，要么是雌激素浓度增加对靶器官产生影响，要么是对雌激素过敏。
