What to do with varicose veins in the genitals

Varicose veins of the pubic area can be simply understood from the name. The direct manifestation is that there will be obvious blood veins erection in the pubic area, which is similar to the throbbing of other epidermal blue veins. When facing this condition, what patients can do is to avoid things that will cause them to exert too much physical effort or have great emotional fluctuations, so as not to increase the pressure on their lower limbs. Also, avoid wearing tight clothes, eating irritating foods, sitting for long periods of time, and being in an environment that is too hot. These measures can relieve varicose veins and avoid obstructing venous circulation.

Mitigation methods

1. Don’t lift heavy objects.

Heavy objects will increase the body's pressure on the lower limbs, which is not conducive to relieving symptoms.

2. Don't wear tight clothes.

Belts and shoes should not be too tight, and it is best to wear low-heeled shoes.

3. Do not stand or sit for long periods of time.

Lying down all the time is also not conducive to relieving the symptoms of varicose veins. Especially in the second and third trimesters, reduce your workload and avoid standing or lying in one position for a long time. When sitting, avoid crossing your legs to avoid obstructing venous return.

4. Stay away from alcohol.

Drinking alcoholic beverages and drinks can aggravate varicose veins.

5. It is best to lie on your left side.

When resting and sleeping, lying on the left side is beneficial to the blood circulation of the inferior vena cava and relieves the symptoms of varicose veins.

6. Avoid high temperatures.

High temperature can easily cause blood vessels to dilate and aggravate the condition.

7. Control your weight.

If you are overweight, it will increase the burden on your body and make varicose veins more serious.

8. When sleeping, you can put a towel or quilt under your feet.

This will facilitate blood flow and reduce pressure on the legs.

Precautions

1. Moderate and gentle exercise every day, such as taking a walk near home or in the park, can help blood circulation.

2. Maintain a proper weight and stay within the weight range recommended by your doctor.

3. Do not lift objects that are too heavy.

4. Raise your legs during rest moments to help blood flow back to the heart.

5. Try to avoid sitting, standing or crossing your legs for long periods of time. Standing for a long time or putting pressure on the legs can easily cause congestion in the leg veins, making blood return difficult; it is recommended to raise the feet with a pillow when sleeping.

6. Try to lie on your left side when sleeping. Because lying on your left side can avoid compressing the inferior vena cava in the abdomen and reduce pressure on the leg veins, it is recommended that you use a pillow to lean on.

7. Avoid taking a bath with water that is too cold or too hot. Water at body temperature is most suitable. Prevent constipation. If you have a chronic cough or asthma, you should cure it thoroughly to reduce venous pressure.

8. When varicose veins first occur, do not stand or sit for a long time. Instead, change your body position frequently to rest. If you sit for a long time, pay attention to moving your feet frequently. Do not squat on the toilet for too long each time.

9. Seek medical attention promptly if you have varicose veins of the vulva. Vulvar varicose veins are often accompanied by dilation of the vaginal and cervical veins. If no measures are taken, venous rupture and bleeding may occur easily when the baby's head passes during delivery.
