Genital varices in pregnancy occur due to increased pressure on the veins in the pelvis as the uterus expands during pregnancy, leading to increased blood flow to the genitals. this can cause the veins to become enlarged and twisted, resulting in genital varices.

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.
