[Epidemiological analysis of the incidence of varicose pathology in pregnancy].
One thousand and fourteen women who were delivered in the Obst. Gynec. Clinic "L. Mangiagalli" were investigated to evaluate the real incidence of varicose disease, its correlation with some factors and the development of complication. The observation period was comprised between the 1st and the 4th day of puerperium in which women were investigated by obstetricians through a detailed questionnaire and underwent an angiological visit. The mean age of the puerperae was 29.6 years (range 15-47 yrs); 587 women were primiparas (57.9%). The prevalence of varicose disease's different aspects resulted 57.9%, while the incidence related to pregnancy was 26.1%. The prevalence and the incidence resulted to be respectively 26.8% and 14.4% for varicosities, 5.6% and 3.1% for saphenous varicosis. Complications were observed in 10 patients (0.99%). 45.3% of patients reported family positivity for varicose disease; this group has shown a statistically significant difference (p less than 0.01) for the onset of different aspects of varicose syndrome.
