The enlarged blood vessels are common and can be found mostly in legs and feet. Varicose veins appears when our veins loose their elasticity. Hormones also play a role here. Estrogen and progesterone is the culprit, researches believe, and most likely it is the balance of these two hormones that is important. Prolonged use of topical steroids also has been shown to cause spider veins.
Pregnancy is a frequent but overlooked cause of varicose veins. Venous disease may develop as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy, long before the uterus is large enough to cause an increase in abdominal pressure. In addition to hormonal changes in pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy may promote vein expansion.
But varicose veins is limited to women alone. Men are also likely to have varicose veins and actually a majority of people that spend most of their day standing or sitting at work suffer from spider veins. Trauma may also cause vein disease. Anything that causes damage-from a hit of a tennis ball to a surgical incision may lead to formation of new blood vessels or cause existing ones to dilate and grow.
