Whether or not to treat varicose veins during pregnancy may vary depending on the severity of the condition, the symptoms and the stage of pregnancy. During pregnancy, vasodilatation and varicose veins may occur more frequently due to hormonal changes in the body and increased blood volume. However, treatment options should be carefully considered.

The following methods can be considered for the treatment of varicose veins during pregnancy:

1. Compression Stockings: These stockings can relieve the symptoms of varicose veins by increasing blood circulation in the legs. They are generally safe to use during pregnancy.
2. Regular Exercise: Regular, low-impact exercise during pregnancy can strengthen the leg muscles and support the circulatory system.
3. Balanced Diet: A healthy diet can reduce the symptoms of varicose veins by preventing fluid accumulation in the body.
   
   

However, some invasive treatments (for example, sclerotherapy or surgery) may not be recommended during pregnancy, especially in the early stages. The risks and benefits of such treatments should be taken into account and a specialist doctor should be consulted about whether they should be performed during pregnancy.

Women who experience symptoms of varicose veins during pregnancy should have a conversation with their doctor about treatment options and should together determine the safest and most effective approach.

Although treatment is not started immediately in pregnant women, treatment can be started 2 months after birth. We still recommend examination and colour Doppler ultrasound to pregnant women. Because if severe deep venous insufficiency is detected, the mother may need to be protected, including the risk of death due to embolism, due to the risk of clots and embolism. Pregnant women with varicose veins may be at risk during pregnancy and until 1 month after delivery.
