During pregnancy a woman has increased hormone levels, and the amount of blood which passes through the veins. This can cause some swelling in the pelvic area. During these times there is the enlargement of the uterus as well which adds onto the existing pressure of the vulvar varicose veins.

Like underwear, the V Brace is a support that will help you with the vulvar varicose vein. This is a brace with several adjustments possible. This helps with back aches, leg pain, and other issues which arise with vulvar varicose veins.

Vulvar varicose veins typically go away after pregnancy. If they do not though, you may need to have them surgically removed.

By holding to a daily workout routine, you can lower the chance of getting varicose veins. Make sure during pregnancy though to confirm what workout is best for you before you go through with it.

Elevating the leg when you are sitting , or avoiding crossing the legs when you are sitting too are both good ideas to help prevent varicose veins. Walking even helps by giving the blood more circulation.

Wearing protective clothing will also lower the pressure to the area. The brace mentioned before is perfect for this, or you could use stockings or other similar items that allow you to achieve identical results. Support techniques like this will help with any swelling as well you may experience that cause the veins to get worse.

Attempt to wear the stockings as soon as you wake up, and make sure they are not too tight so circulation is not reduced.

Laying on your left side when you are asleep at night also can help. The vulvar varicose veins typically pop up on the right. Prop yourself with pillows as well while you sleep to lower the risk of getting varicose veins during pregnancy.
