Here’s question two: True or false – Varicose veins are pretty common in women after they’ve been pregnant. TRUE, and sometimes these areas will clear up on their own. If you gave birth over three months ago and you still have varicose veins, you should mention it to your physician.

So you’ve brought your baby home and you are so busy it’s hard to get a minute to yourself! How are you feeling? Along with joy and pride, there’s also sleep deprivation. How is your body doing? It’s been through quite a bit, lately, and you are going through changes in your body; but perhaps some of the changes aren’t happening as quickly as you’d like.

If you’ve been showing a few of the symptoms of varicose veins and you want your physician to investigate the matter, there are several tests you can both turn to in hopes of determining whether or not you have varicose veins. Before anything else, your doctor will conduct a physical exam and ask you plenty of background questions about your health, your medical history, and your symptomology. Your physician is also going to pay special attention to the color and texture of your prominent veins. After going over your patient history and your exam, the doctor may feel as though he should order a test to look for further evidence concerning the patient’s possible varicose veins. He has several tests to choose from.

When we last saw our intrepid Varicose Vein person, they had determined that their PCP had coded correctly for their insurance purposes. (For those, whose memory is as porous as mine, VV is our shorthand for varicose veins and PCP is insurance/medical shorthand for your primary care physician, also known as your family doctor.) Now, you can get a good idea what this is going to cost you (because you always ask about the charges up front, right?).
