Other venous complications in pregnancy - what does this mean
Other venous complications in pregnancy occur when the increased blood volume and pressure of the uterus on the pelvic veins lead to an obstruction of venous return, resulting in an increase in pressure in the lower extremities, leading to swelling, varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis.
What happens during the disease - other venous complications in pregnancy
Other venous complications in pregnancy are caused by the increased pressure of the growing uterus on the inferior vena cava and pelvic veins. this leads to increased venous pressure in the lower extremities, which can cause swelling, varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis. in severe cases, the increased pressure can also lead to pulmonary embolism, a potentially life-threatening condition.
