What causes reticular veins in the legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reticular veins: the most common reason for these veins are hormonal shifts that women have, during regular menstrual cycles, and pregnancy. Another possible reason is easy bruisability, where the vein walls are weaker and have a tendency to leak. Increasing flavonoid's in her diet will be of benefit. These are found in the inside peel of citrus fruits.
