Answer
Hello,
Varicose veins are diagnosed on clinical grounds: edema, leg heaviness, pain, numbness, and need for venous ultrasound of the lower extremities. Usually, varicose veins during pregnancy are caused by pregnancy, so the blood from the veins of the legs to the heart is obstructed, so the blood stagnates in the legs, causing mild edema or a feeling of heaviness. After giving birth, the above phenomenon can disappear on its own, but if you still have the above symptoms, you can change your living habits such as:
Limit standing or sitting for a long time, increase exercise and sports Change positions often , avoid standing for a long time and sit a lot Drink enough water, maintain a reasonable weight, eat a high-fiber diet. If symptoms persist, you should see a cardiologist.
