Heredity is the main cause of spider veins. Obesity, lack of exercise, pregnancy, and birth control pills can increase the risk.

They are caused by collecting in the vein. Hormone changes, inherited factors, and exposure to the sun cause spider veins.

Veins have valves that act as one-way flaps. If the one-way valves become weak, blood can leak back into the vein & collect there.

About Birth Control Pills
Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, or the release of an egg into the ovaries. Birth control pills contain hormones -- estrogen, progestin or both -- which prevent the egg from being released before menstruation. If no egg is released, a sperm cannot join with it. Hense, pregnancy is prevented. There are many different pills, so consult with your doctor to choose one that is right for you.
