harder for blood to move efficiently from the legs and pelvis back to the heart.
Cleveland Clinic explains that pregnancy-related varicose veins happen when blood flow is reduced and blood pools in the veins, creating visible bulges under the skin. These veins often appear in the legs, but they can also occur in the pelvic area or rectum.
Many pregnancy-related varicose veins improve after childbirth, although some may remain. Hormonal changes outside pregnancy may also make veins more noticeable in people who are already prone to vein issues.
