I have had varicose veins since I was 16 and I am expecting my 2nd baby this sep but.....?


My veins are getting worse :-(,can anyone recommend anything that I can do to help reduce their size or make them go.I had a varicose vein removal when I was 18 on one leg but the other leg looks hideous.I feel too embarrassed to wear a skirt this summer because of this.
Is there any old wives tales I can use or anything.I forgot to say that I got quite pertruding veins in my 1st pregnancy but they went down ok afterwards.I am quite pale skinned so mabe this makes them even more noticeable?.I am 30 this yr.
Thankyou any advice would be very appreciated.

Nope. There are no simple effective remedies. If there were no woman would have them.

Hey.
My Aunt has Varicose veins. She had a few operations on her legs or effected ares where the veins were more bunched (concentrated). The operation is to untangle them, and yes it does reduce the look of veiny legs.
Hope it helps.
