Q: My wife is 6 months pregnant. She has severe pain in her right thigh as if the vein is stretching. Her weight has increased by 10 kg during pregnancy. She has difficulty in walking. Her vagina is swollen with 4 to 5 round solid structures which pain a lot. The doctor said that these are blood veins and normal. But it is very difficult for her to do day to day work. Please guide.

A:If the clinical examination done on your wife by the doctor is normal, then you just have to encourage her to be more physically active and also not to eat too much fat as in only 6 months she has gained 10 kgs.
