painful varicose veins and pregnancy

This pregnancy i have developed some varicose veins. I have one that is protruding on my left inner calf and is right on top of bad spider vein. It is tender to the touch and i can feel a little discomfort walking up and down stairs. Is this normal or could it actually be a blood clot? It is not warm to the touch just painful and tender.

t know how to explain it but on the back of my right calf I ended up get something looking like a small bunch of grapes due to the veins. And believe me now my veins r so much visible and feel really bumpy and a lot painful. I can't stand for a long periods of time and can't even do do my house chores. Ended up having a cleaner and also can't live without my compressions they r a life saver.

They say they get worse w every pregnancy I'm on my third baby fourth pregnancy and they're starting . I have some on my thigh and I've been getting pains for 6 wks and I'm only going on 10. I didn't think about varicose veins being the reason for the pain until I just read this!!!!!

-) im 29 weeks pregnant today and almost since the beginning of this pregnancy I have been struggling with those horrible varicose veins on my very private parts. Not only it is painful and uncomfortable but I also feel like a complete freak because no other women I spoke with had suffered from them. Am I really the only one here having them?

I have them on my legs aswell. They are terrible! Lol I'm hoping they disappear after little man.

Im 24, in my third pregnancy, and have begun getting the "spider veins" on my thighs since my first pregnancy. They are quite unsightly and feel that my legs dont fit my age!! Any hope to get rid of these? Who would I speak with about this?

I'm 16 weeks pregnant, first pregnancy and have noticed varicose veins on the backs of my knees/legs, are they permenant?

Anyone else having trouble with them? They run in my family and I got them for the first time halfway through my first pregnancy and now in my second pregnancy they are "flared" up. I also started back at work do I'm on my feet a lot. I wear compression socks which help but is there anything else I can do to relieve the pain?

Seems like we share a few common things besides varicose veins. Only discovered I was preg at 14 weeks and am 27 weeks now and wld really want vbac but read somewhere saying they usually start inside so was also worried about obstruction of baby.

Varicose veins are gnarled, enlarged veins. Any vein may become varicose, but the veins most commonly affected are those in your legs and feet. That's because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins of your lower body. Sometimes varicose veins lead to more-serious problems. Varicose veins may also signal a higher risk of other circulatory problems. Treatment may involve self-care measures or procedures by your doctor to close or remove veins.

They’re easy to see because they’re superficial veins close to the surface of your skin and typically occur on show up in your legs, feet, ankles and hands. While bulging veins are usually harmless, they can be a sign of a more serious problem like a blood clot." https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22877-bulging-veins It may actually still be varicose veins which is common in 1 in 3 adults. For most people, a bulging vein is truly harmless. Unsightly, perhaps.

Yep. Gotta love the extra weight of baby and pressure on the veins! I have varicose veins in my legs and my vagina. It's really unattravtive and is constantly swollen unless I'm lying down. And of course comes the pain and heaviness too. Ugh. I'm just glad I don't have them around my butt hole.

My son had the ELT and and although it was a painful recovery (7-10 days...and he won't take pain meds) he is very happy that he had it done. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't completely rule out varicose veins because I have read that they can occasionally be painful. If that is the case & a doctor recommends they be treated, a lot of U.S. Medical Insurance plans cover this. I only mention this because I have spider veins (mostly in my right thigh) but they are just ugly, not painful, so the treatment to get rid of them is not covered by insurance.

Hey I have varicose veins in my legs n between my legs its so hectic n painful but it gets worse sometimes I cant hardly stand but they disappear after the pregnancy but I had mine since my first pregnancy it was ok but with my second its soo ugly n embarrassing to wear any shorts drresses or anything but when I give birth thats anytime soon im gonna get surgery so it never comes back ...

They are varicose veins and can become painful. I was on bed rest at the end of my pregnancy with brayden. Mostly due to these. I had to wear these sock things that were really tight and went to my knees :( You should be okay your so close to getting little guy out. But they may become a bit painful to stand or walk. After pregnancy mine disappeared completely.

Actually my dr said and I've read online that by exercising daily can prevent varicose veins but also if ur family or u have had a history with them then ur most likely to get them specially through pregnancy and they can be painful also there's creams and other methods to help with the pain or even Mimi size them or even make them go away but ask ur dr I'm sure he or she can prescribes something for u,,, good luck

The tingling fingers and feet sound like poor blood circulation which is also related to varicose veins I think. (Varicose veins are due to blood not pumping all the way through and backlogging/leaking back into the veins.) Bruised legs also circulatory, sounds like spider veins, which are related to varicose but don't stick out and they spread out more. Itching could be circulatory as well, or puppps or liver issues or allergies or sensitive skin.

I'm 28 weeks and barely have a bump.

not vascular and had horrible varicose veins up and down both legs by the age of 20. Just a few years ago I had my veins pulled out and the Dr said that I was 1 of the 3 worst cases he had ever seen and the other 2 were elderly. My skin hurts all the time...even getting a pedicure when they rub your legs hurts.

I am not sure if I have varicose veins or not. I am around 50 lbs overweight and 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. My legs are aching really bad from the knees to my ankles. I do have some small prominent blue bulging veins near the surface, but they have been there for years and never hurt. Can a person have them so deep that you can't see it? I fell last week and have some very deep and large contusions on the front of my right leg. My calves seem to be slightly swollen, but my ankles are normal.

The doctor said that it's normal during pregnancy. It isn't varicose veins, it's just more blood flowing down there.

From working long hospital shifts and pregnancy, I got a few spider veins and varicosities. Dermalmd Varicose Veins serum is supposed to help with circulation and decrease appearance of these veins. serum applies nicely. Not sticky. Veins seem to have improved and appear to be faded.

I wanted to know if varicose veins will diminish after pregnancy especially in genitals?

Hi, I understand your concern regarding your symptoms. Varicose veins may indeed become swollen appear lumpy, bulging or twisted as well as painful. The vein valves weaken or are damaged causing blood to backflow. If your varicose veins are causing you pain or discomfort, it is best that you have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management. Endothermal ablation, sclerotherapy, and even phlebectomy may be indicated.
