What causes the development of spider veins?
There are a number of different factors that can contribute to the development of spider veins. Hormonal shifts in women like puberty and menopause heighten the possibility of spider veins, as does pregnancy, although such veins that occur during pregnancy often vanish during the months after birth. Other factors, which effect men as well, include weight gain, prolonged sitting or standing, aging, or a leg injury, excessive waxing and, of course, there is always heredity. It is less frequent to see the development of spider veins in males versus females.
