I have a varicose veins in may legs. When it is better to plan the surgery – before or after the giving birth?
Of course, the most favourable is to have the surgery before giving birth, as varicose veins will worsen during your pregnancy. After “obturation” of your damaged vein, the varicose will not progress in this area and you will have your problem solved. You will not experience any more varicose vein-related aesthetic concerns and pain during the most beautiful period in your life – the youth. The myth that the surgery should be delayed up to giving birth is still tenacious since the foretime, when varicose veins have been treated applying open surgery technique and patients experienced a large trauma. Currently the surgery is associated with a minimal trauma and it lasts for 10 to 40 minutes; a patient should stay at the clinic for 1.5 hours only. A patient can stand up and walk away from the surgical table independently and on the same day come back to everyday activities.
