Should a woman wait to treat her varicose veins until after all planned pregnancies?
Not necessarily. In some cases that would make as much sense as postponing treatment for diabetes or hypertension due to pregnancy. Treating any of these chronic conditions, including varicose veins, serves to gain control of the condition, thereby limiting damage to the target organs exacerbated by the normal physiologic stresses of pregnancy. Most phlebologists agree that treatment for varicose veins is best done before or between pregnancies.
