Help? Vulva Varicose Veins?

[tripletsOMG]

I posted in multipes section also but any experience with these. I have 2 huge veins that hurt and very swollen inside my vaginal lips. How do I relieve the pain and will they go away? I have never had this before and have nothing on my legs I never thought this was possible until my mw asked when I complained of pain. Of course I said NO way! but I actually looked last night it has to be.

Hello, i have actually been referred to my consultant to check my lady bits-and it was confirmed i do have varicose veins down below on my vulva. It is apparently quite common, but i guess not many ladies want to discuss it or even realise.

Nothing can be done unless it gets severe, the advise i was given was to put my feet up and rest when it aches at its worst. You can buy big support pants to help aswell, paracetamol is safe to take when pregnant, oh and you can use cooling gels and pads from the chemist too.

I find it aches the moat when ive been on my feet for a long time and towards end of day. When i lie down on my side-it seems to take the pressure off the area.

I don't have any veins anywhere else by the way-so yes it IS possible!
