Mostly, yes: Hormonal changes during pregnancy, premenstruation or menopause may be a factor. Female hormones tend to relax vein walls. Taking hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills may increase your risk of varicose veins.

No: I *think* your question is whether hormones came be used to treat varicose veins. The answer is no. While hormones might make varicose veins worse, there is no evidence that taking them as a drug makes them better.
