Varicose vein where?

I am 6 weeks postpartum and I went in for my checkup. I told the doctor that I have been having increasing pain down there and was told it was vuvar varicosities (vericose vein) and that it would go away when I was done breastfeeding. I can't stand or walk for long periods of time and I feel that the pain is worsening. Has anyone else gone through this? I have to go back to work soon and I don't know how I will handle it?
