    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Vascular Medicine
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Context:

    • Pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of venous thromboembolic events.
    • Edema of the legs is a common complaint during pregnancy, affecting up to 50% of women.
    • Phlebitis and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are less common but serious complications.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the prevalence of leg edema, phlebitis, and deep vein thrombosis in pregnant women.
    • To highlight the diagnostic approaches for these conditions.
    • To discuss the standard therapeutic interventions.

    Summary:

    • Fifty percent of pregnant women experience leg edema.
    • Phlebitis occurs in 1% and deep vein thrombosis in 0.14% of pregnancies.
    • Diagnosis is typically achieved through non-invasive methods.
    • Conservative therapy, primarily elastic bandages, is often sufficient for treatment.

    Impact:

    • Provides essential information for obstetricians and healthcare providers managing venous disorders in pregnancy.
    • Emphasizes the importance of non-invasive diagnostic tools.
    • Supports the use of conservative management strategies, potentially reducing the need for more invasive procedures.
