What is the cause of vaginal and vulvar varicose veins ?

Almost all vaginal or vulvar varicose veins ( varicose veins ) derived from varicose veins in the pelvis . There are two ovaries in the pelvic ovarian Each name has a very long vein called the ovarian veins - there is one on the right and one on the left . Ovarian venous blood from the ovary should take back to the large vein that can be pumped back to the heart .

If the valve stops working within the blood vessels , the blood vessels around the ovaries become dross Besart - a condition called " ovarian varicocele " - or pelvic congestion syndrome .

There are two other veins in the pelvis can also - called internal iliac vein . located at the bottom of the pelvis and can cause the same problem . However , if the branches of the affected blood vessels , can cause hemorrhoids or varicose veins around the buttocks and anus .

Causes of vaginal and vulvar varicose veins is mainly due to the pressure of the uterus on the iliac and hypogastric veins . The large intestine is too full due to constipation is also an important factor in the onset of this problem .

Besides the increased hormones during pregnancy will make weakened blood vessel wall that causes enlargement . Usually if artifacts vaginal varicose veins during pregnancy , it will appear varicose veins in the legs as well .

In addition due to the condition of pregnancy , varicose veins in the vagina can also be caused by the consumption of corticosteroid drugs and disruption or abnormality in the blood vessels which makes it easy to appear weak so varicose veins .

Sitting in a standing position for long periods is another factor in its favor.

What are the symptoms of vaginal or vulvar varicose veins ?

Symptoms associated with vaginal or vulvar varicose veins can be divided into two main groups :

Symptoms related to the blood vessels themselves

Associated symptoms of pelvic venous reflux ( pelvic venous congestion or pelvic congestion syndrome )

1 - Symptoms of varicose veins of the vulva or vagina

Varicose veins in the vagina or vulva can be very embarrassing . This makes a person very uncomfortable during intercourse . If large enough , they can actually be seen hanging so embarrassing when wearing a bikini or underwear models G string - and if very large may make it difficult to urinate and can inhibit sexual intercourse .

There are several tests that are recommended, but only one that is currently the " Gold Standard " test - color duplex ultrasound transvaginal .

Some tests can be done to diagnose :

Color duplex ultrasound transvaginal

This is a standard test that shows blood flow in the veins in the pelvis , and does not require needles or x - ray . But only accurate when performed by highly experienced operators duplex

External color duplex ultrasound ( on the skin )

although it sounds much better do a " external " not a transvaginal scan scans , blood vessels are located too deep inside and can be detected at an angle of approximately

MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging

This test can show a large pelvic varicose veins and blood flow using the technique , could see some flow in the blood vessels . However , it is expensive and some patients may feel claustrophobic when done an MRI scanner .

Venogram ( x - ray of blood vessels with contrast injection )

venogram is important TREATMENT or varicose veins in the vagina and pelvis , but not a very good test to diagnose or investigate the circumstances of inii . However it should use X - ray ( radiation ) around the ovary, must use injection and so invasive and more expensive than duplex ultrasound

CT ( or CAT Scan - Computerized Axial Tomography )

CT has a lot of the same drawbacks as MRI - and this should not be done in patients with claustrophobia syndrome , and this examination using X-rays , which can lead to radiation of the pelvis and ovaries

precaution

Until now there is no special tool to prevent vaginal varicose veins during pregnancy . But if pregnant women diligently raised foot by placing it on a pillow when lying down or reading a book , little more can help blood flow . This method is proven to reduce the burden that must be supported by foot . Avoid the use of shoes , preferably with a maximum of 2 cm so that blood flow was blocked . Then during sleep , try not lie only in a position to avoid pressure on the veins in one place .
