Varicose veins close to the skin are formed due to the
expansion in the veins. Varicose veins formation may be racial, that is,
familial. The enlargement of these vessels is bothersome in appearance and
creates complaints such as pain in some people. The expanding varicose veins
usually appear purple. In pregnancy, varicose veins are most often formed on
the legs. It may occur less frequently in the vulva (outside the vagina).
Hemorrhoids are also a kind of varicose and increase during pregnancy.
Pregnancy is one of the conditions that predispose to the formation of varicose
veins. The reasons for the predisposition to varicose veins during pregnancy
are the increase in blood volume during pregnancy, the increased progesterone hormone
during pregnancy, loosening the muscles in the vessels and the growing uterus
pressing on the vessels. Varicose veins are more common in women than in men.
The rate of infancy in women increases 2-3 times more. It is observed that
about 15% of pregnant women have varicose veins.
Leg varicose veins are not an obstacle for normal delivery.
If there are very wide varicose veins in the vulva, that is, the outer part of
the vagina, care should be taken not to bleed during delivery and not to cut
them during episiotomy (birth stitch).

stockings are given in severe varicose veins. Some leg exercises can be done to
