In fact, everything here is pretty simple. Varicose veins in expectant mothers are due to the fact that there is a fast set of excess weight and the load simply does not have time to evenly distribute, in order not to unnecessarily burden the legs and inguinal zone.
As a result, the transformation of the venous wall occurs, which ultimately leads to an expansion of the veins.
A similar disease can also be caused by the trauma of the vascular walls, which leads to blood clots, clogging and vasodilatation.
