Post Partum Varicose Vein Treatment
Why are varicose veins common during pregnancy?
Many women discover their first varicose veins during pregnancy, experiencing muscle cramps ,heaviness, swelling, pain, or even itching and dermatitis in the legs.
Why during pregnancy? During this very special time in your life, extra pressure is placed on your pelvic veins by the baby, placenta, and uterus. Pelvic veins lie within the walls of the uterus, vagina, rectum and perineum. As a direct result of the increased pressure they are experiencing, pelvic veins will in turn put pressure on veins in the thighs and lower legs, ultimately aggravating existing varicose veins, or producing new varicose veins entirely.
