Unfortunately, the joy of the expected motherhood is sometimes clouded by problems with the health of the future mother. Varicose during pregnancy is a common disease that, appearing during pregnancy, sometimes remains with a woman for life.
Varicose veins are a persistent, irreversible process that occurs as a result of pathological changes in the walls and valves of the veins. Pregnant women suffer 4 times more for this disease than men or women. Also, the hollow vein during pregnancy (the lower hollow vein during pregnancy), which collects blood from the lower extremities, the uterus and the internal organs of the pelvis, is of concern. At 19-20 weeks with increasing size and weight, the uterus can cause partial indentation of the inferior vena cava and aorta, this process is called "hollow vein syndrome in pregnancy". This also leads to a worsening of the outflow of blood from the lower extremities, uterus, rectum, which can cause hemorrhoids and small pelvis varicosity during pregnancy.
The causes of development of varicose veins are also hormonal changes in the body. When preparing the body for childbirth, the ligaments and the framework of veins are softened, the mobility of the joints increases. Also, the growing uterus, bypassing the veins in the small pelvis and preventing the outflow of blood from the lower extremities, increases the load, which causes bloating of the veins during pregnancy.
