NICE provide guidance as to the management of varicose veins in pregnancy:

  • provide pregnant women presenting with varicose veins information on the effect of pregnancy on varicose veins

  • do not carry out interventional treatment for varicose veins during pregnancy other than in exceptional circumstances

  • consider compression hosiery for symptom relief of leg swelling associated with varicose veins during pregnancy
