There may be treatment available, do a search for vulvar varicosities and keep looking till you find one that discusses sclerosing, or sclerotherapy, which is what they do to varicose veins of the legs - perhaps they can apply one of those treatments to the vulvar veins. ? It doesn't hurt to ask! Don't perform medical treatments on yourself, consult a doctor!

I posted another but someone removed it?! I'm not offering medical advice just trying to refer you to resources you might not otherwise find! It took me two years to finally find a likely answer to my concerns. >A varicose vein is not a poppable bubble. It's like a hose that has
