Hormone therapy can contribute to the development of varicose veins, particularly in women. Hormonal changes, such as those experienced during pregnancy, menopause, or with the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), can affect vein health.

Estrogen, a hormone commonly involved in hormone therapy, can relax the vein walls, making them more prone to becoming weakened and enlarged. This hormonal influence can exacerbate or trigger the formation of varicose veins. If you are undergoing hormone therapy and have concerns about its impact on your veins, it is essential to discuss them with your healthcare provider.

They can help assess your risk and explore alternative treatments or preventive measures to minimize the impact on your vascular health.
