The uterine vein is found in the cardinal ligament of the uterus. It travels through the broad ligament of the uterus to the lateral abdominal wall. [1] It drains into the internal iliac vein. [1] [2] The uterine vein forms a venous plexus around the cervix. [2] It follows a similar course to the uterine artery. [3] Lymphatic vessels are ...
The ureter itself courses over the external iliac artery and vein. [4] Thus, these vessels can impinge on the ureter causing obstruction. The left ovarian vein ends in the left renal vein whereas the right ovarian vein normally enters into the inferior vena cava. [1] In the case of right ovarian vein syndrome, the vein often ends in the renal vein.
Such spread typically results in Troisier's sign, which is the finding of an enlarged, hard Virchow's node. [1] The left supraclavicular nodes are the classical Virchow's node because they receive lymphatic drainage of most of the body (from the thoracic duct) and enters the venous circulation via the left subclavian vein. The metastasis may ...
Pelvic congestion syndrome, also known as pelvic vein incompetence, is a long-term condition believed to be due to enlarged veins in the lower abdomen. [ 1 ] [ 7 ] The condition may cause chronic pain , such as a constant dull ache, which can be worsened by standing or sex. [ 1 ]
The arcuate vessels of the uterus are a component of the blood supply of the uterus. They are arteries and veins that branch from the uterine arteries and veins, respectively, with additional anastomoses from the ovarian arteries and veins, [2] and penetrate and assume a circumferential course in the myometrium.

Blood is supplied to the cervix by the descending branch of the uterine artery [9] and drains into the uterine vein. [10] The pelvic splanchnic nerves, emerging as S2–S3, transmit the sensation of pain from the cervix to the brain. [5] These nerves travel along the uterosacral ligaments, which pass from the uterus to the anterior sacrum. [9]
