Vulvar Veins
Vulvar varicosities affect nearly 10% of pregnant females
These varicosities cause blood to pool in the genital region causing feelings of fullness and discomfort.
During your pregnancy, self-care measures may provide relief of symptoms. You can wear a supportive compression garment apply cool compresses to the area, and take frequent “feet up” breaks to encourage increased circulation.
If vulvar veins do not resolve on their own, more traditional varicose vein treatment may be needed.
