Pregnancy is the time when a woman feels like carrying a blessing within them. Women experience a lot of changes during the pregnancy like acne, boil, rashes, dark spots on nipples and inner thighs At the same time mother-to-be can be very anxious and undergo various mood swings during this time. There can be various complications that might occur during this time and one of them is varicose veins. 

What are varicose veins ?

Varicose veins developed during the pregnancy are visible blue, red, or purple veins which are twisted , ropelike structures that bulge out of the legs. Varicose veins  may get worse during pregnancy. 

What are the causes of development of varicose veins?

With time, the growth in the uterus creates pressure on the right side of the veins which further leads to additional pressure on your leg veins. Weak or damaged valves can lead to  the damage caused.

Varicose veins tend to occur if other members of your family have also faced the same issue. This problem gets worse as you get older and also with each successive pregnancy.  Standing for a long duration, a woman carrying twins in her womb or being overweight are the other factors responsible for developing varicose veins.
