Normal pelvic and ovarian venous anatomy. The rich uterine venous plexus (UVP) drains via the right and left uterine veins (RUV, LUV) into the internal iliac veins (RIIV, LIIV) which anastomose with the external iliac veins (EIV) to become the common iliac veins (CIV). The UVP anastomoses superiorly with the ovarian venous plexus (OVP) bilaterally which drain into the ovarian veins. The right ovarian vein (ROV) drains into the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the left ovarian vein (LOV) drains into the left renal (LRV). (Image courtesy S Boland)
