Question:
Is it possible that HRT can cause varicose veins? Would be grateful for advice

Answer: The misspellings in this post are a clear indication of the quality of the information it contains. This is pure unadulterated garbage posted by someone who has a financial interest in selling you "natural" remedies. I carry no brief for exogenous hormones and would love to post that they cause varicose veins and hemorrhoids and cause your hair to turn green and warts to grow on your face but it ain't so. There is NO connection between varicose veins and exogenous hormones. Or endogenous ones for that matter. Varicose veins and hemorrhoids frequently appear during pregnancy because blood flow from the lower body is frequently physically impeded by the growing fetus. This physical blockage may cause blood to pool in the lower body which in turn may damage the valves in the veins. Where have you heard this trash before? YAM SCAMMERS right? Hilda is another one. Hilda sends email to people who post here asking about specific symptoms, and offers them her own brand of snake oil. Hang on to your wallets.
