varicose vein treatment

People who are overweight or people who are working while standing for a longer time might get varicose veins. Pregnancy, pre menstruation, and menopause are some of the factors in women that influence varicose veins. During pregnancy, hormones relax the veins and more blood travels through the veins. Varicose veins often develop during pregnancy and resolve shortly after childbirth. Lack of exercise, prolonged constipation, and sitting with legs crossed can compound the problem.
