PVFD: Think of It as Vaginal Varicose Veins - HealthyWomen
Vulvar varicosities are varicose veins enlarged, dilated, and twisted veins that appear on your vulva. They can show up on the labia minora and majora and the skin folds of your vulva. Many women develop vulvar varicosities during pregnancy, especially during second pregnancies. According to different studies, about 10 to 22 percent of pregnant women develop vulvar varicosities. Many others decide not to get medical help. You may develop vulvar varicosities without knowing about the condition, since you may find it difficult to see your vulva, particularly during pregnancy. Vulvar varicosities typically appear as soft, purple or blue-colored veins that protrude out from the skin or appear twisted.

The name alone is enough to cause confusion, and the thought of vaginal varicose veins is enough to make most women wince. Although PVFD is quite common, it is significantly underdiagnosed.
