Can varicose veins in my uterus affect my chances of getting pregnant?
I went to the ER this weekend due to extreme abdominal cramping and bleeding. I have never had cramps this horrible. They did an ultrasound and the technician said “You have had kids right?” and I haven’t had any kids so I said NO. She told me I have varicose veins on the right side of my uterus. I haven’t been able to get pregnant and I was wondering if anyone has heard of this or their personal experiences.
I forgot to mention I’m only 21.
Yes, they can cause infertility. The interefer with implantion and placenta growth so even if you got pregnant you are a high risk of miscarring.
You need to see your ob/gyn to discuss treatment.
