Vaginal varicose veins
Many women suffer from varicose veins vulva or vagina and
does not know what to do about them. Well hopefully this article useful to you
who experienced it.
Are varicose veins and varicose veins vulva vagina?
Varicose veins are the veins under the skin or mucous
membranes (mucosa) wide and curved / circular valve due to abnormalities in
blood vessels behind it. Varicose veins usually occur on the hands and feet,
but in some people may occur in other places such as the stomach, rectum (large
intestine near the anus), vagina, scrotum, and vulva (genital lips).
Approximately 20-30% of women have varicose veins, especially in pregnancy
Vaginal Varicose veins are visible bulge in the wall of the vagina or feel bulging
in the vagina itself.
vulvar varicose veins is a protrusion through the skin of
the vulva or "lips" either the skin or vaginal mucosa at the vaginal
entrance.
Sometimes varicose veins vagina / vulva can be very large,
making the skin look very abnormal vulva. In general, varicose veins do not
cause symptoms that look just bulging blood vessels under the skin or mucosa.
On vaginal varicose veins, dilation of blood vessels will be seen under the
mucous membrane lining the vagina. In most patients with varicose veins,
especially the veins of the legs, the legs will feel heavy, tired and the pain
increased when he was a lot of standing or sitting. Itching or skin becomes
bluish discoloration is also a characteristic of varicose veins.
In most pregnant women who experience vaginal varicose
veins, a normal delivery can still be done, except on a very heavy vaginal
varicose veins, your doctor may recommend a caesarean section. Doctors will be
able to find out when examining the pelvis during pregnancy or childbirth
examination. After delivery, by itself will shrink varicose veins and often do
not bother anymore. If the mother was pregnant again, in general, varicose
veins will come back.
Vaginal bleeding due to varicose veins, generally occurs
during delivery because of rupture of the walls of blood vessels due to trauma
/ laceration of the road when the baby is born. Very rarely bleeding due to
varices usually occurs shortly after birth
How many women suffer from vaginal varicose veins?
No one knows how many women suffer from vaginal / vulvar
varicose veins because there was no research done to determine how many people
are suffering.
But the fact is happening in the field are:
. Sayai rarely see the veins of the vagina or vulva in women
who are not pregnant.
· This case is also very rare in women who labor with SC -
except if the woman previously had a normal birth before the SC or varicose
veins during pregnancy has been detected and this is a cause or an indication
of the SC does.
Nearly all women with vaginal or vulvar varicose veins have
been previously normal delivery / childbirth pervagina
· One of 5 women with varicose leg has some varicose veins
vagina or vulva - although most are still too small to see or not to cause
problems
· Many women with varicose veins do not have a vagina or
vulva varicose leg
What are the causes of vaginal and vulvar varicose veins?
Almost all of the vagina or vulva varicose veins (varicose
veins) is derived from varicose veins in the pelvis. There are two ovaries in
the pelvis called ovarian Each has a very long vein called the vena ovaries -
one on the right and one on the left. Ovarian vein to take blood from the ovary
back into a large vein so it can be pumped back to the heart.
If the valves stop working in the blood vessels, veins
around the ovaries become dross besart - a condition called "ovarian
varicocele" - or pelvic congestion syndrome.
There are two other blood vessels in the pelvis can also -
called the internal iliac vein. located at the bottom of the pelvis and can cause
the same problem. However, if the branches of these blood vessels are affected,
can cause hemorrhoids or varicose veins around the buttocks and anus.
Causes of vaginal and vulvar varicose veins is mainly due to
pressure from the uterus to hypogastric and iliac vein. 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 a
weakened blood vessel wall which causes enlargement. Usually if the artifacts
vaginal varicose veins during pregnancy, it will appear varicose veins in the
legs as well.
Besides the condition of pregnancy, varicose veins in the
vagina can also be caused by consumption of corticosteroid drugs and the
presence of disturbances or abnormalities in blood vessels which makes it easy
to be weak so that varicose veins appear.
Position stand sitting for long periods of time is another
factor that supports.
Varicose veins can produce serious and even fatal hemorrhage
during delivery. Well treatment if this happens to be done is to empty the
uterus as quickly as possible when bleeding occurs, because this can not be
controlled. When doctors have found that varicose veins in the vagina of
patients should be given the understanding of the danger of bleeding,
What are the symptoms of varicose veins vagina or vulva?
Symptoms associated with varicose veins vagina or vulva can
be divided into two main groups:
Symptoms associated with its own blood vessels
Associated symptoms of venous reflux in the pelvis (pelvic
venous congestion or pelvic congestion syndrome)
1 - Symptoms of varicose veins 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 relationship.
2 - Symptoms of pelvic veins and pelvic varices (veins PLT
hip / pelvic congestion syndrome).
Pelvic varicose veins in women can push one of the pelvic
structures causing symptoms. Depending on how big his veins can cause the
following symptoms: sensation of pain in the pelvis, discomfort during sexual
intercourse "dyspareunia".
There are several tests that suggested, but only one is
currently the "Gold Standard" test - transvaginal color duplex
ultrasound.
Several tests can be done to diagnose:
Transvaginal color duplex ultrasound
This is a standardized test that shows the flow in blood
vessels 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 skin) although it sounds much better conduct "external"
scan instead of transvaginal scan, blood vessels are located too far inside and
angles are less detectable
MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging
This test can show a large pelvic varicose veins and use the
techniques of blood flow, could see some of the flow in blood vessels. However,
expensive and some patients may feel tightness when performed MRI scanner.
Venogram (X-ray of blood vessels with the injection of
contrast)
Venogram is important in or TREATMENT vaginal and pelvic
varicose veins, but not a very good test to diagnose or investigate the
circumstances of inii. But this should be using X-ray (radiation) around the
ovaries, must use the injections and so invasive and more expensive than duplex
ultrasound
CT (or CAT Scan - Computerized Axial Tomography)
CT has a lot of the same weakness as an MRI - and this is
not done on patients with claustrophobia syndrome, and this examination using
X-rays, which can cause the radiation to the pelvis and ovaries
Precaution
Until now there is no special tool to prevent vaginal
varicose veins in pregnant women. But if pregnant women diligently picked up
the foot by placing it on a pillow when napping or reading a book, a bit much
to help blood flow. This method is proven to reduce the burden that must be
supported by legs. Avoid the use of shoes, preferably with a maximum of 2 cm to
the right of blood flow was obstructed. Then when you sleep, try not to lie in
just one position to avoid pressure on blood vessels in one place.
