Interestingly, women who are pregnant may get varicose veins in their legs but are also at higher risk for development of varicose veins in their vulva and their rectum (hemorrhoids). However, like the venus insufficiency that clears up in the lower legs after the birth of a child, these particular types of varicose veins also usually clear up once the baby is been born.
Women who practice Kegel exercises during pregnancy will help to prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids, which are varicose veins in the rectum. These exercises also help to improve the delivery process and reduce the risk of urinary leakage.
Varicose Veins in the Testicles
Of the many different causes of male infertility, a varicocele is one of the most common. A varicocele is very simply a varicose vein that develops in the venous system of the testicles. This varicose vein develops in much the same way that others do. This means that the one-way valves that control the blood flow in the veins are damaged and allow the blood to pool. This pooling results from poor circulation. This increases the temperature inside the scrotum and decreases sperm production because of the heat. (13)
