    We report the case of a 22-year-old primiparous, admitted to our hospital with a 2-week history of vulvar edema that had evolved within 24 hours to the point of stopping urine flow and hindering ambulation. The only remarkable finding in relation with the edema was hypoalbuminemia for no apparent cause. The correction of hypoalbuminemia and the establishment of diuretic treatment, with the drainage of the edema allowed for a complete resolution of the edema.

    Varicose Veins I: Introduction

    Varicose veins, or varicosities, are abnormally dilated and twisted superficial veins caused by venous valve incompetence. This condition commonly affects the lower extremities, especially the saphenous veins, due to the higher pressure from prolonged standing and walking. However, varicosities can also occur in other areas, such as the esophagus, vulva, spermatic cords, and anorectal region.Etiology and typesPrimary varicose veins, often idiopathic, are more common in women due to inherent...

    Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

    Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

    Venous Thrombosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

    The key difference between Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) lies in their location and severity.Clinical ManifestationsSVT typically presents with localized pain, tenderness, and redness along the course of a superficial vein, often accompanied by a palpable, cord-like structure under the skin. This condition is usually less dangerous than DVT but can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications such as cellulitis or, rarely, a clot extension into the deep...
