A member asked:
Has anyone developed vericose veins while using an iud?
9 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No!: Basically totally unrelated. Majority of people who have the condition are women, especially after pregnancies (hormones!) and if there is also a family tendency...

Doesn't matter.: Varicose veins are due to malfunctioning (refluxing) valves of usually the saphenous system of veins. An iud has nothing to do with causing valves to reflux. More common causes would be hereditary and prior pregnancies. You should see a vein specialist.

Sure. : I'm sure these two things have happened together but they are not at all related. See a vein specialist or phlebologist. Phlebology .Org for a referral.
