Varicose Veins...?

Question

I'm 27 years old, married and pregnant with my second child. This pregnancy has been astoundingly different than the pregnancy with my first.

My problem is that I am getting rather bad varicose veins in both my legs; some of them have even burst and left behind nasty spiderweb like black marks (bruises). To start with... I don't have time to sit back and relax at many times during the day -- I'm a stay-at-home Mom with my 10 month old who recently started walking. I get rest time when she gets nap time and when my husband comes home from work (an hour before baby's bedtime) -- he goes to work before she gets up to start her day.

My question is ... Have anyone else out there had this problem or similar to it? Are there any suggestions to reducing the vericose veins that I already have or to preventing more later on as this pregnancy progresses?

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Contrary to a prior answer, drugs are not routinely used for varicose veins. While pregnant, VV often worsen due to increased fluid retention.

Your best option now are support stockings with at least 20-30mm Hg of compression. After delivery, the veins may/may not improve.
As am active mom, the stockings should improve. Check your pharmacy for non-prescription hose. Or, ask your doc to prescribe some stronger prescription hose.

When I turned 28 I already had been in pain, embarrassed, and scared of becoming pregnant. I didn't want my big blue varicose veins to get worse. The All Natural Varicose & Spider Vein Solution program was an easy read and easy to do. Within 21 days there was a big difference in how my legs looked and I can wear shorts without feeling embarrassed. I feel so much better with more energy and for giving me back a healthier body, and the legs that a 28 year old should have.

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements. How to get rid of hemorrhoids https://tr.im/qSBfJ
Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins that causes them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR STORY. WELL MOST PERSONS I KNOW WITH VARICOSE VEINS TEND TO HAVE CIRCULATORY PROBLEMS AND ARE PRESCRIBED DRUGS TO AID THIS SUCH AS PENTOXIFYLLINE. HOWEVER, I RECENTLY HEARD FROM COLLEAGUES THAT PROCTO-GLYVENOL APPLIED TOPICALLY TO SPIDER VEINS AND SOME VARICOSE ONES HELP A LITTLE, AS IT HAS MEDICATION THAT HELPS WITH CIRCULATION. (ITS USUALLY USED TO SHRINK HEMORRHOIDS). OTHERWISE YOU NEED TO TALK WITH A DOC, IF THEY REALLY THAT BAD,OK. OH TRY WEAR SUPPORT STOCKINGS TOO.
