I am a 31
year old female and have just delivered my first baby. I now have large rope
like varicose veins. Is there any non-surgical treatment for these veins?
Yes, many women develop varicose veins during pregnancy. Once the baby is delivered and you begin to lose weight, the varicose vein will start to decrease in size but will not completely disappear. While surgery is one of the ways to remove varicose veins, they can recur.
The best treatment which is effective, cheap and free of complications is a decent pair of compression stockings. The only negative about these stockings is that you may feel warm during the summer. However, there are some excellent styles and designs of compression stockings which can be worn during the summer. If you cannot tolerate the stockings then surgery is your next option. There are many types of newer surgical procedure to remove varicose veins, but I would wait and see how you respond to stockings.
In most cases, varicose veins that occur during pregnancy subside after delivery.
