Vulvar & Vaginal Vein Treatment in Cheshire

Veins are part of the extensive and intricate circulatory system in your body. They are responsible for transporting blood from your body to the heart. Like any vessel or organ in your body, veins must be looked after to maintain effectiveness. When they become unhealthy, varicose veins can develop.

Varicosities, or varicose veins, occur when parts of your veins become dilated, convoluted and filled with excess blood. This is most often caused by a valve that has become damaged and can no longer close properly, thereby allowing blood to flow backwards or pool in the vein. These affected areas can occur anywhere on your body; in women, they may even happen in your vagina and your vulva.

Vaginal or vulvar veins are most common during pregnancy but frequently disappear by themselves a few weeks after giving birth. These veins can also develop if you are not pregnant, but these occurrences are less common. Some women may be more susceptible to vaginal veins than others, mainly if there is a history of varicose veins in the family or if they already have varicose veins elsewhere. A study conducted in 2017 indicated that an average of 20% of pregnant women suffered from vulvar veins, and between 22% and 34% of women who had pelvic varicose veins also developed vulvar veins.

You could experience various symptoms if you have varicose veins in your genital area, even if you can’t see or physically feel any abnormalities around the vulva or vagina. Should you notice any bulging veins at the top of your inner thigh, or you are uncertain or suspect that you may have vaginal varicose veins, you should consult a doctor who can give you a formal diagnosis.

Medical practitioners employ a grading system to determine the severity of your vulvar varicosity. Grade one indicates a mild case, with some women not even realising that they have varicose veins in their vagina. Grades two to four are used when the damaged veins are visible.
 

Treatment of Vaginal Varicose Veins

The presence of vaginal veins does not have to be a life sentence. Those veins that have developed during pregnancy often disappear of their own accord, and we have some very effective treatments available for the ones that linger.

You can implement some home-based management techniques to treat vaginal veins. Remedies like applying ice packs to the affected area, propping up your hips when lying down to encourage blood to flow, and wearing compression garments can all have some positive effects. Still, in many cases, you will need more aggressive treatment methods to remove the affected veins.
Examining the affected vein will determine the degree to which it is damaged and will guide us in deciding on the best course of treatment.

These veins are diagnosed by clinical examination and a transvaginal ultrasound scan. They can be treated conservatively with unique made-to-measure tights or, more effectively, with a minimally invasive day case procedure.

We offer the following treatments:

  • Mini-Phlebectomies
  • Foam Sclerotherapy

Treatments are fast, minimally invasive and very effective in removing those damaged veins.
