Vulvar varicose veins and pregnancy: childbirth management

Abstract

Vulvar varicosities are varicose veins at the outer surface of the female genitalia (vulva). It is a relatively common venous disorder in women with varicose veins of the pelvis and lower extremities and in pregnant women, but there is little information in the medical literature concerning its diagnosis and management. When it occurs to the women presenting in labor for delivery, the question asked is which mode of delivery should be chosen and how the patient should be managed?. Whether the cesarean section or the vaginal delivery?
