Menopause
Menopause and menopausal transition are one of the most common causes of varicose veins in women, Women are almost four times more prone to get varicose veins as compared to males of the same age group. Due to the massive imbalance in the estrogen and progesterone hormones during menopause, women tend to develop higher blood pressure, resulting in swelling and twisting veins in the legs and around the ankles.
