Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Engorgement of veins in the vagina and rectum is common in pregnancy due to compression of the veins by the uterus.
It usually resolves after pregnancy.
There is no treatment done for it during pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
