Pregnancy after EVLA of large and small saphenous veins dangerous?

swissohanaJul 20, 2019
Hi, I had both small and large saphenous veins treated with EVLA after my last pregnancy. If I got pregnant again, would the pregnancy cause issues with my deep veins or cause new bad veins to form? Wondering if it's a health risk. Thanks!

Veins in this area are usually called angular veins and are very difficult to treat because these veins drain directly into the brain (cavernous sinus) and treatment of these veins carry potential risks for damage to the ophthalmic veins or cavernous sinus. I would recommend no treatment.

It can often take more than one treatment to get the desired results.  My preferred treatment for veins such as the ones shown in the photos is VeinGogh ohmic thermolysis

I treat forehead vein with sclerotherapy.  I used microphlebectomy in the past but rarely use it at all anymore.  The vein can be treated by sclerotherapy and botox may help to even out the irregularities.
