What happens during the disease - genital varices in pregnancy
Genital varices in pregnancy is caused by the pressure of the growing uterus on the pelvic veins, leading to increased blood flow in the veins and resulting in their enlargement and engorgement. this is further exacerbated by the hormonal changes of pregnancy, which lead to increased vascular permeability and weakened vein walls. the resulting increased pressure can cause the veins to become swollen and varicose, leading to pain, discomfort, and increased risk of bleeding.
