The varicose veins are attributed to diseases that quickly pass through a chronic state.The disease causes a change in length and diameter of the veins, the appearance of nodes, the slimming of the venous walls.Very often, varicose veins during pregnancy are manifested, when significant loads are in the background of hormonal changes on the woman's body.
The reasons for appearance
If we consider the reasons under the influence of varicose veins during pregnancy, several basic elements can be distinguished:
- Change of weight.During pregnancy, the veins appear on the legs due to an increase in the weight of ten kilograms or more, which leads to an increase in pressure and load on the vessels;
- Hormonal changes in the body.During the formation of the fetus, the hormonal background of the woman is rebuilt several times, which hurts the vessels - they lose their elasticity, become fragile, subject to the appearance of varicose nodes;
During pregnancy, the veins appear on the legs due to an increase in the weight of ten kilograms or more.
- During pregnancy, the work of valves will change because the volume of circulating blood increases.It should be noted that varicose veins after pregnancy, if treated, do not disappear anywhere;
- Hereditary factors.If one of the parents of the pregnant woman is sick of varicose veins, the chances of manifestation of the same disease are high;
- Selection of bad clothes and shoes.Sometimes future mothers wonder where the varicose veins come from, without thinking that tight clothes and high themed shoes can cause it;
- Reduce motor activity.In the legs on the legs during pregnancy, the stagnation of blood can begin, if the pregnant woman moves little and does not make special gymnastics.
