How Do You Get Rid of Varicose Veins That Appear Months After Birth?

rainbowflavouredpocky
During pregnancy I had no problems with swelling or varicose veins, but around the time my daughter was 9/10 months old I've noticed varicose veins on my thighs and backs of my knees. Why has this happened and how can I get rid of them? I've also just moved to a much warmer part of the country, so will this have an impact on making them worse?
