    Left renal vein varicosities can cause gross hematuria in women, particularly during pregnancy and after oral contraceptive use. These vascular changes are influenced by both mechanical and hormonal factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Vascular Medicine
    • Reproductive Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Gross hematuria is a concerning symptom requiring thorough investigation.
    • Renal vein varicosities are uncommon but can be associated with various clinical presentations.

    Observation:

    • A 33-year-old woman experienced recurrent episodes of left-sided ureteral gross hematuria.
    • Hematuria occurred before the second trimester in three pregnancies and after oral contraceptive therapy.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with left renal vein varicosities.
    • Mechanical and hormonal influences during pregnancy and oral contraceptive use are hypothesized to precipitate hematuria from these varicosities.

    Implications:

  • This case highlights a potential, albeit rare, cause of hematuria in women of reproductive age.
  • Understanding the interplay of mechanical and hormonal factors is crucial for managing renal vein varicosities and associated bleeding.
