Varicose veins onset after stopping birth control
I am 42 and I was taking birth control pills - Desogen since I was 25 or so. This year in May I stopped taking the birth control pills and a couple months later I noticed on my legs bulging varicose veins. The onset seemed to be quite sudden. Could the fact that I stopped taking the birth control pills caused the sudden onset of the varicose veins?
dont stand for a long time as it strains the legs and aggrevates the vericose veins....try to keep your legs placed on a chair or on a heaight when ever you are sitting.
Possibly. Taking birth control pills can create a deficiency in certain nutrients. I'd suggest searching natural treatments such as supplements to help strengthen your veins, etc. and help you become healthier. I'm sure the info is available :)
