Chronic pelvic pain ( CPP) is a commom and underdiagnosed problem in women, it has a multifactorial cause, which makes diagnosis and treatment difficult. One of the possible causes of CPP is the pelvic congestion syndrome.Women diagnosed with PCS reported it took a long time and suffered a lot to be diagnosed,in addition the impact of the disease.The psychoanalytical listening to the history of these women revealed experiences of death anxiety, psychic disorganization,impotence,depression. Listening,validation of pain,diagnosis and appropriate intervention interrupt this deadly circuit and instill hope to rescue interrupted dreams.
