Patient's question:
22 weeks, small bumps appeared on the vulva. Thought it was a gynecological disease caused by internal heat, didn't pay much attention. Now they have grown, and at 25 weeks, when checked at the hospital, vulvar varicosity was found.Doctor's answer:
Hello, as you described, general vulvar varicosity during pregnancy is usually caused by the enlarged uterus compressing the inferior vena cava during pregnancy, leading to poor blood flow in the blood vessels of the lower body and blood stasis. Whether vulvar varicosity can lead to a normal delivery mainly depends on the severity of the varicosity. If the varicosity is very severe, it is likely to cause venous rupture during the delivery process, leading to severe bleeding, which poses a life-threatening risk to both the mother and the fetus.
