Some studies and Varicose specialists suggest that varicose veins can be caused by elevated progesterone, estrogen and even testosterone:
Elevated sex steroid hormones in great saphenous veins in men
Influence of estrogens and progesterone on the venous system of the lower limbs in women.
Elevated Serum Estradiol/Testosterone Ratio in Men With Primary Varicose Veins Compared With a Healthy Control Group
Progesterone and Varicose Veins
Can anyone comment on these findings? I can see why a Varicose treatment center wouldn't promote a cheap alternative solution but the studies seem somewhat plausible.
