Knowing different types of varicose veins
Most people seem to think that you can only have varicose veins in your legs, which is not true. In fact, varicose veins can occur in many other parts of your body. This includes the abdomen, pelvis, vulva and uterus. Varicose veins can even appear on the face.
Varicose veins in the legs
Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that appear near the surface of the skin and are dark blue or purple in color. They are usually unsightly and are caused by broken veins. Although any vein can become varicose, the most commonly affected veins are those of the legs and feet. The reason is that people are in an upright position when standing and walking. This increases the pressure in the veins of the lower body, which damages the veins.
Abdominal varicose veins
The abdominal varicose vein is basically the same as the varicose veins in your legs, except that it is in your abdominal region. The appearance of the affected veins themselves is also the same. So you should be able to know if you have varicose veins on your stomach.
A garment is available especially for people with varicose veins in the groin and thighs of the body, including the abdominal area. This garment can be worn by people suffering from abdominal varicose veins to find relief from the condition.
Pelvic varices
Pelvic varices usually appear during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the level of hormones and the amount of blood flowing through the veins increases, which can lead to swelling in the pelvic area. This in turn can lead to varicose veins in the pelvis.
Because untreated pelvic varices can cause chronic pelvic pain, you should have your doctor examine them as soon as you notice them.
Very small pelvic varicose veins, you could be treated with lotions or creams that you can apply to your skin to make the veins smaller. If you have larger or more pronounced varicose veins in the pelvis, you may need to consider surgery to treat the affected varicose veins. This prevents you from having severe pelvic pain. Your doctor can suggest various treatment options for your pelvic varices. Make an appointment with your doctor today to determine which treatment is right for you.
Varicose veins
The increased hormone level, the amount of blood that flows through the veins during pregnancy, and the enlargement of the uterus put additional pressure on the vulva, causing varicose veins.
Many people find relief from varicose veins with tight elastic panties, lycra cycling shorts, two pairs of thick underwear or thick sanitary napkins.
Another type of varicose vein relief you can try is wearing the V-clip. It is a support brace that is worn like underwear and provides additional support for the varicose vein. This adjustable braces can also relieve back pain, leg pain and other symptoms related to varicose veins.
These varicose veins usually go away after your pregnancy. If these vulvar varicose veins persist after your pregnancy, you may need surgery to remove them.
You can also try to lie on your left side when you sleep at night. This will help prevent this uncomfortable condition since the area that is usually affected by varicose veins is on the right side of the body. If you relax with pillows in your sleep so as not to roll on the right side, you can minimize the risk of varicose veins during pregnancy.
Varicose veins on the uterus
Doctors will regularly look for varicose veins in the womb in most women, especially pregnant women. If your doctor has told you that you have varicose veins in your uterus but has not suggested treatment, it is likely because he is not concerned about the possibility of complications from your condition.
However, if you are concerned, it is a good idea to regularly ask your doctor about varicose veins in your uterus. This will ensure that they are not so advanced that you should be treated. If the condition causes discomfort or pain, report this to your doctor as soon as possible so they can advise you on the best treatment.
