Background: Although pregnancy has been identified as one of the risk factors for venous disease, the mechanism of this interaction remains unclear. Possibly, pregnancy results in overstrain and vein dilatation, which exceed their durability and persist after pregnancy. The aim of this study was the assessment of the relationship between the number of pregnancies in women with venous disease and the selected parameters of their venous systems.

- Current treatments for venous disease primarily target eliminating reflux in major veins like the saphenous vein, but high recurrence rates indicate that the approach may overlook underlying causes.
- A study analyzing data from 535 women found that those previously treated had more severe disease than untreated individuals, potentially due to changes in the venous system, older age, and increased pregnancies.
- The researchers recommend revising treatment strategies to address abdominal and pelvic veins as potential sources of reflux, especially in women.
