So during my last pregnancy I had problems with varicose veins (and thrombophlebitis behind knee) in my leg /thigh then postnatal I had thrombophlebitis and nearly all of thigh vein was clotted and vulval varicites which also had clots. Were quite close to junctions and family history of dvts do had to take clexane for a few weeks.
As this was superficial thrombophlebitis my consultant has said I do not need to use clexane until postnatal.
My concerns are that my varicose veins have gotten worse and more painful the past few days andgave become suddenly noticeable, how so I know when to seek gp/ other advice?.currently using compression stockings as advised since previous pregnancy but these do not seem to be making big difference
Just looking for any advice / experience of this
