Physiological reactions of second child
This symptom may be affected by late pregnancy. As the fetus grows, the uterus also increases, which will compress surrounding tissues, blood vessels, nerves, organs, etc., causing vulva congestion and pain.

Vulvodynia: Some women feel swelling of the vulva, local skin redness, and severe pain in the vulva when walking a few months after pregnancy. This phenomenon is clinically known as genital varicose veins. The uterus of pregnant women shoulders heavy responsibilities and requires a large amount of blood supply, which increases the blood flow of the pelvic veins and internal iliac veins, causing increased venous pressure and abnormal expansion of the thin-walled veins on the inner thigh. vulva.
In addition, withAs the fetus gradually increases, the uterine organs in the pelvic cavity also increase accordingly, which can easily compress the veins, hinder blood return, cause stasis, and cause varicose veins. In addition, the concentration of estrogen in the blood also increases rapidly during pregnancy, causing the vein walls to relax and causing vulvar varicose veins. The key to preventing vulvar varicose veins during pregnancy is to pay attention to hygiene during pregnancy. Women should avoid standing for long periods of time after pregnancy, especially in the later stages of pregnancy. Avoid wearing tight pants and shoes; do not go near heat sources or bathe in excessively hot water.

You can apply zinc oxide ointment topically or use some talcum powder to shrink varicose veins. All symptoms will disappear naturally after delivery without any sequelae. In short, if it is the first situation, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. If it is the second case, it should not be a big problem and the problem will resolve itself.
