How to deal with swelling in the lower body during pregnancy

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The main methods to prevent it include: avoiding prolonged standing, not bathing with excessively hot water. If the symptoms of vulvar varicose veins have already occurred, pregnant women can use local cold compresses or sit in cold water to help constrict the dilated veins in the vulvar area. Prevention of vulvar varicose veins primarily involves avoiding prolonged standing during the later stages of pregnancy; avoiding tight pants and shoes or socks; and staying away from heat sources or bathing with hot water.
