Varicose veins is one of common problem after pregnency....
if at all it's causing discomfort u can get done venous dopper study for vericose vein rather than MRI..
many treatment options are available.... including some life style modifications like avoide standing still for long time... limb elevation above heart level while sleeping.... wearing stocking in day time...etc
No effective drugs available for vericose vein...
Surgical procedures can be planned accordingly..
which may be in form of open surgery or minimal invasive surgery using laser or sclerosing agents...
