Varicose veins on vulva?

Last week I had a sudden onset of my vulva feeling really sore on one side. Its hard to see over my massive bump and I’m also due a bikini wax, but things looked/felt swollen/bumpy. I thought maybe I had a sore from something rubbing, or ingrown hairs. It went away overnight, but I’m now experiencing the same thing on the other side. As I say, it’s hard to see. If you had vulval varicose veins did they come on suddenly and did it feel very sore? I’ll ask my midwife when I see her but just wondering…

I can't say I had them for certain but I did have quite a sore vulva at times when I was pregnant for whatever reason. Definitely mention it to your midwife but I'm sure it's fine and normal tbh.

I had something very similar, it has a proper name but I can't remember it. Went away after I gave birth.

Yes came on suddenly - with my 3rd pregnancy they were proper massive and horrible (so not hard to miss) but the size depends on how long you've been standing etc

They went away completely after pregnancy

Spoke to my midwife and she agreed it sounds like varicose. Who knew it could be so uncomfortable!
