“…Several haemodynamic changes occur in pregnant women, including greater vasodilation, smooth muscle cell relaxation, compression of the iliac veins due to increased uterine size, slower venous flow, stasis, and venous valve incompetence. All this results in a situation of venous hypertension, which can lead to the development of varicose veins, especially during the third trimester of pregnancy [5][6][7]. Both oestrogen and progesterone play an important role in all these changes in the cardiovascular system, and especially in CVD [8,9].…”

Los autores señalan que el manejo de dicha patología se divide en tres grupos principales que son: tratamientos farmacológicos, tratamientos no farmacológicos y los tratamientos quirúrgicos.…”

Refiere que los métodos no farmacológicos para tratar la insuficiencia venosa en la mujer embarazada incluyen el uso de medias de compresión, descanso, elevación de las piernas, reflexología, inmersión en agua y masajes.…”
