I have a preliminary diagnosis of varicosity of the ovarian vein which has given me some pretty bad leg and vulval veins (tmi sorry!). My second (large) baby was born nearly three years ago and although they reduced immediately they are still a problem. Been told I need more tests/scans etc to be certain. Anyone got any experience of the scan which involves dye injections under a general anaesthetic (can it be done under local?) and what treatment did you get and did it work? I hope I get some responses as it isn't the sort of thing you can bring up down the pub with your mates so you are left feeling you are the only one in the world... (then again, maybe I am!)
