hi, I found a lump on inner side of my labia majora and the doctor has told me it's a varicose vein and they usually happen in pregnancy but I'm not pregnant, I'm 52 ! It aches but is not very visible. I cant find anything much on the internet about this in non pregnant women. I have one child who is 17 so ages ago now and I've only had varicose vein last few months. The doctor basically said there is no treatment. sometimes it is painful to walk . I do not have any varicose veins in my legs. I am on HRT patches and am wondering if hormones have something to do with it. I was also diagnosed with a very small ovarian cyst that has been monitored and has got smaller but wondering if this is connected. Does anyone else have this ?
Sounds like it might be hormones.
