Pregnancy and exercise are two things that actually are very closely related when it comes to the female anatomy. While pregnant, a woman's legs experience the extra pressure of added weight. During exercise, lots of running or walking without the proper footwear also puts pressure on the legs.
Thus, many women end up requiring spider vein treatment. Spider veins are small, squiggly veins that are usually dark blue or red in color. They can most prominently be found on the calves and thighs. Also, they are indicative of blood that has pooled in the veins. As a result, the veins tend to poke through the upper epidermal layers.
Now, many women seek out spider vein treatment not because they are particularly afraid of health effects, but because they are concerned about the appearance of their legs. It becomes very hard for them to confidently wear shorts during the summer. Thus, these are the women who sign up for spider vein treatment with their dermatologist, and don't keep in mid the fact that these veins could be indicative of something more serious.
Take, for example, the anatomy of this kind of vein. Since blood has pooled within the vein, that means whatever other blood that was supposed to got through the vein cannot, since everything is backed up. Thus, the potential for a lot is definitely there. Spider vein treatment is thus intended to force the blood through the veins, so that the vein can collapse right back to its original size and shape.
