Genital varicose veins are a common problem for women of all ages and social roles. He is hidden from the attention of others, so he rarely gets timely treatment. Some patients experience discomfort and pain to the last, embarrassed to see a doctor with this disease.
The disease has no clear gender division. And in men it happens, but very rarely. For his appearance as a representative of the strong half of humanity, a very serious reason is needed. But in women, varicose veins in the genital organs are almost the same as varicose veins in the lower legs or hemorrhoids.
Types of varicose veins during pregnancy
It is possible to classify npo varicose veins (lower genital organs) by localization location.
Varicose veins vagina

until it develops enough to "come out" to a more visible part of the body.
Varicose veins on the labia

Symptoms of genital varicose veins
The disease starts significantly. Gradually, it becomes stronger and requires the appearance of serious circulatory disorders in the genitals. The symptoms of varicose veins in the genitals are very specific and recognizable.

Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the appearance of the first signs.

They spread to nearby areas - the inside of the thighs, the lower abdomen.
Causes of disease
Pregnancy is the most common cause of illness. The fetus compresses all internal organs and blood vessels. Can it cause varicose veins in the genital organs? This is impossible to predict. Resistance to persistent negative physical influences is different for every woman. While waiting for a child, some women are given rest, which does not mean that there is no complete movement. Due to the constant compression of blood vessels, this dangerous condition develops at high speeds. By the time a child is born, varicose veins can already be a threat to a woman's health and life.
Women without children also experience varicose veins on the genitals. The following reasons can be distinguished:
- Overweight.
- Excessive use of physical exertion in labor.
- A sedentary and inactive lifestyle.
- Digestive problems, which often cause pain in the perineum (constipation and frequent diarrhea).
- Stay in a warm room, sitting on a hot surface.
- Hereditary predisposition to varicose blood vessels.
- Inflammatory disease of the pelvic organs.
- Weak work of the whole body valve system.
- Hormone therapy, performed over a long period of time, can provoke genital varicose veins and other disorders in the circulatory system.

Diagnosis of the disease is carried out using special studies.
- Visual observation during an examination by a gynecologist gives preliminary results. An experienced doctor immediately realized the suspicion of genital varicose veins. Doctors, if in doubt about the health of women's veins, give a referral to a narrow specialist in this area.
- Ultrasound of the genital area uses sensors for external and internal examination (inside the vagina).
- Phlebography is done to study the condition of blood vessels, to check its function.
- Doppler ultrasonography effectively indicates the working condition of veins on the genitals and adjacent tissues.
Classic treatment of varicose veins

Also, one should not fail to mention phlebectomy - an operation to form a normal vein lumen and its location.
People's solution

Rare wild plants obtained by herbalists in the forest. The extract has a significant anti-inflammatory effect. Watering the body is used for medical cleaning and camouflage (inserting a damp cotton cloth into the vagina at night).

While amateur medicine is only effective in the early stages of the disease and does not guarantee the cessation of its development.
Dangers and Complications
Neglected varicose veins of the female genitals can cause many adverse consequences.
Infertility
Violations of blood circulation in the genital area cause their work disorders. Swollen tissues block the passage of germ cells, making the developing pelvic organs, uterus and fetus insufficient. Due to varicose veins, pregnancy can end spontaneously.
Vascular rupture during childbirth
Ships with damaged walls are easily broken. It is very dangerous during childbirth. The internal bleeding that occurs is not always visible. In ancient times, this was the highest cause of death for women after childbirth. To prevent varicose veins, doctors decide how to give birth with varicose veins. Most likely, a caesarean section will be performed to prevent injury to the sore spot.
Reducing Sexuality
The physiological reason for the increased attraction and enjoyment of sex is the ability of the pelvic organs to fill with blood. With vein lesions, this is impossible to achieve. You can stay cold by not paying attention to the condition of the veins.
Modern medicine has learned to prevent such consequences, but it is too serious to ignore. It is necessary, even before the serious development of the disease, to apply preventive methods that will save you from problems in the future.
Precautions
Prevention of disease in case of varicose veins is the best option. Once it appears, the disease will begin to haunt a person for the rest of his life.

Sports help "spread" blood, to raise the general tone of muscles and blood vessels. People who live an active life are always healthy and fit. But you do not have to torture yourself with unnecessary stress. Everything should be in moderation.
And, of course, we must not forget the observation by the doctor. Periodic medical examinations by narrow specialists around the world are considered a good form.
