Women can improve their pain and discomfort by spending some time lying down with their feet elevated for 30 minutes both in the morning, afternoon and evening. Women also find that adding pressure against the varicose veins can help them from increasing in size as the day goes on. A product that is sold specifically to provide support in this area is the Fembrace. Originally designed to assist women who suffer from genital prolaspe, it also helps those who have vaginal varicosities. Another option is to use a pair of bike shorts and put a thick pad inside the shorts in order to add pressure against the varicosities.
Most obstetricians and gynecologists will tell their female patients that these varicose veins are not uncommon during pregnancy. And, fortunately, they also usually resolves after the child is born. If you know you have a varicose vein, or suspect you have one in your vagina, it is important to tell your obstetrician in order to receive any further advice that may affect other underlying medical conditions and for specific support during birth.
