Varicose veins gone after a stroke

How does that work?
After a major brain bleed last february my wife has noticed that her VV's have gone (thats a plus then) but how does that happen? Anybody had a similar situation?    Thankyou

 Any answers you get on here are unlikely to be from anyone medically qualified, and will generally come from speculation or Dr Google.
This may be better aimed at the people dealing with her stroke if they are still involved, or her GP.

My guess would be something along the lines of aspirin.  My minor ones almost disappeared after an op last summer when they had me taking aspirin for a week.  Should have been a month but it made my hiatus hernia kick off as aspirin is not a good idea for that.

True about Dr Google yes.
She can't take aspirin it was only paracetamol and other seizure meds but yes we will ask GP but baffling eh?

Amazing, wonder if whatever she took could be prescribed for other VV sufferers. Thanks for sharing and all the best to your wife with her recovery.

Aspirin is just one class out of many classes of blood thinners that can be prescribed after a stroke, more light can be shed by the Drs.
