Do Pelvic Phleboliths Go Away?

In most cases, pelvic phleboliths are benign. They don't require any further treatment or evaluation. They are recognized as a normal part of aging. In rare cases, the presence of phleboliths in the pelvis can alert your doctor to the possibility of more serious conditions, such as venous malformations.

What does multiple phleboliths in the pelvis mean?

They most commonly appear in the veins surrounding the pelvis. Phleboliths are a type of vascular calcification. They are considered a sign of abnormality in the vein. Phleboliths typically do not move and are harmless, but they may signal the presence of another condition.

Can phleboliths be painful?

Depending on the size, location, and number of phleboliths you have, you may never notice any symptoms. Sometimes they can cause pain in the stomach or pelvis. If the pain is very sharp, you may have kidney stones instead of phleboliths.
