Venous Insufficiency (spider veins)

[Niles]

Does anyone else have this symptom, or know of what imbalance causes it? Ever since my crash, I've had genital spider veins, broken capillaries on chest, and bigger veins more prominent all over (not in a good way). I'm trying to find out how to stop this symptom from progressing.

Penile varices?If you have some visible veins damage i suggest you go see a doctor.It might be pfs related and might be independent

Going to the doc tomorrow for labs, but I'm certain this is PFS related. I've seen the symptom described elsewhere on PFS forums, but there's not much insight into why it happens/how to slow its progression.

I have the same thing from Citalopram. It freaks me out. Let us know what you find out.

@Crushed I've been taking Pycnogenol, doing pelvic floor stretches and sitz baths. Since sticking with this for a week, I've haven't noticed new spider veins and the existing ones are less pronounced. This is obviously a bandaid for a hormonal cause, but it's helping in the meantime.
