When it comes to the development of spider or varicose veins, there are many factors that contributed to it. These would include it being hereditary, pregnancy or other.

People often want to know if they can have her therapy during pregnancy. Having the procedure done is not dangerous but to results will not be worth it. It is recommended to wait until a few months after the baby is born, as the veins will have reduced significantly during this time.

Generally if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, then the doctor will advise you to postpone sclerotherapy treatment. Often, spider veins that appear during pregnancy will appear on their own, three months after the baby is born. Doctors will also recommend this as they are not sure how the sclerosing agent may affect the breast milk. Mothers who are nursing are often advised to wait until they have stopped breast-feeding to have the procedure done.
