Abstract:
The Authors examine the endocrinological, mechanical and constitutional factors which are involved in the pathogenesis of varicose veins in pregnancy. Discussing the results of their experience (328 pregnant patients observed, 158 of which affected with various degrees of varicose veins) they suggest a protocol of treatment in the different situations in order to obtain an improvement of the clinical conditions and, if necessary, postpone a surgical operation after delivery, so avoiding useless risks during the pregnancy.
