Varicose Veins...? |
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. 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. Source(s): vascular PA 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. |
